Ho qualchi nuovi scherzi su Windows. Ciao!

Windows 95:
Plug and pray...

Alt-F4.
Just do it.

Double your drive space:
Delete Windows!

This is an
airconditioned room.
Do not open Windows!

Microsoft
is not the answer.
Microsoft
is the question.

Windows 95:
New look,
same multicrashing.

Windows found
remove?
(Y)es (S)ure (F)ine (O)K

New from McAfee:
WinScan
Removes all Windows programs

Masochist:
Windows programmer
with a smile!

I'll never forget
the 1st time I ran Windows,
but I'm trying...

Beat me,
whip me,
make me use Windows!

A computer without Windows
is like a fish
without a bicycle.

Hiroshima '45
Tschernobyl '86
Windows '95

Is Windows a Virus?

No, Windows is not a virus.

Here's what viruses do:

They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do
so - okay, Windows does that.

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does
that too.

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable
programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow
(see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:

Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems,
their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become
more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus.

It's a bug.
