We all know them. We all hate them. They are generally overdone, completely biased, or so vague they border on the edge of pointlessness (or toppled over said edge). Yes, I'm talking about those "Is Linux ready for the desktop" articles. Still, this one is different.

Windows is crap because:
* it doesn't even have a real desktop, just "Program Manager"
* the 32-bit ABI is an add-on
* it still runs on top of DOS
* windows disappear when you minimize them and you have to un-maximize program manager to see them
* there's no 3D support except 3DFX
* you have to use trumpet winsock to connect to the internet
* the latest browser you can get is Netscape 4.
* doesn't support recently released hardware
