Wait.. wait.. wait.

So you're saying that when poorly written apps don't follow the OS guidelines it's the apps fault?

Wow, how come nobody has ever told nearly every Linux advocate in existence this?

See, they all blame Windows for every flaw in applications .. they say it's Windows fault, clearly because it worked fine previously.

I assume you will not correct all those Linux advocates that go blaiming Windows for 3rd party app compatibility issues.

'A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position'
