This somewhat tongue in cheek look at “making the switch” from *nix to Windows is good for a laugh. Mostly because his sentiments largely echo my own.
I’m having a bad Windows day. It seems like everything I try to do is getting hindered by some stupid Windows quirk. It’s like the damn thing is just an accumulation of work-arounds for poor design choices that were made 15 years ago. Nobody in the Windows world ever seems to really fix problems at their root, it’s always some sort of hackish lame-ass dodge that invariably introduces some obnoxious unintended consequence. I have to believe this is due to sales / marketing induced time-line / legacy pressure. The alternative, that they aren’t smart enough to realize what they are doing is lame, would just do too much damage to my already shaky faith in humanity.
