    Why Windows is better than Linux

    Sorry for not crossposting to 7 other newsgroups as I could not figure out
    how to do that.

    I decided to try Mandrake Linux as I heard it was a l337 system.

    The first thing I noticed was that linux installed in a half hour, with a
    bunch of applications already installed. That seemed very reckless
    to me. Windows is much more careful and takes it's time, even going to the
    extent of multiple reboots to make sure everything is ok. Windows also
    doesn't install a lot of extra software. It makes sure that I know about
    every extra piece of software by making me install it separately.

    Of course, I had to install a pirated version of Office as I can't afford
    to pay hundreds of dollars for it, and I got a virus, but that's just
    Windows way of making sure I install a pirated virus scanner, which is
    very important.

    I know there is a free office suite called Open Office, but it must be
    just infested with spyware, as I know nobody gives away applications for
    nothing.

    Windows also no longer supports my HP Scanjet 5300C scanner. I'm not sure
    why, but I know that it's a very good reason. Probably viruses. I can get
    it to work sometimes, probably when Windows thinks it's safe. Windows is
    very wise.

    Linux detected my scanner and it always works, I'm sure giving my computer
    worms. It scares me.

    Also, I recieve emails with extensions sometimes. I am always able to open
    them in Windows and run them. Some of them will email all my friends
    for me. Linux lets me open them, but never emails my friends for me. I
    don't think Linux likes my friends.

    Windows also blocks me from seeing what's on my linux files, saving me
    from dangerous viruses. Viruses are everywhere. Linux will let me look at
    anything on my computer willy-nilly, even windows files. Very Dangerous.

    I could go on and on, like about being able to read configuration files on
    Linux that Windows is wise enough to block anyone from seeing, to the
    automated repeated reboots Windows starts for me, that Linux seems to
    never want do.

    I'm going back to Windows, as Linux isn't ready for the prime-time desktop.
    I wanna love you but I better not touch
    I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
    I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
    I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
