despite what you hear, a pretty decent operating system (although its probably not worth 200 dollars...). It works fine, its very n00b friendly, and all it takes to install a program is a double click. yes, it crashes (of course windows me crashes a lot more...). so does linux, mac, freebsd, solaris... all operating systems crash. People who complain about it crashing are people who try to tinker with it. windows isnt made for tinkering, otherwise it would be open source. you wanna mess with stuff get gentoo freebsd. i've leave my windows machine on for months and it works just as fine as my notebook with linux on it. if windows were as bad as linux zealots said then it wouldnt be able to be sold for 200 bucks.

1. AKA Microsloth Winblows
2. A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.

A decent OS with the most versatility of all OSes. Seriously. This thing can run just about any program and/or application.

Let's go on to debunking common misconceptions about Windows...

1. "Windows crashes like every 5 seconds!!1!1OMG another blue screen!"

While Windows does crash, the amount of times it does and how often is usually dependent on many other factors, those factors involving how much people actually take care of their computers.

Since most people don't know how to simple things like defragment their hard drives every once in awhile, and not open every e-mail attachment they get, it's no wonder people have their computers crash all the time.

Out of the approximate 8 years that I've been using a computer running Windows, I have only gotten the BSoD twice. Twice. And they were both due to me running too many applications over night, anyway. Thank God it did too. I probably would've fried my HDD from the constant strain I was stupidly putting on the CPU.

Take care of your computer, and you don't get crashes. Simple as that.

2 "I'm always getting viruses!!11! Windows always gets viruses!11!! You need to have antivirus stuff!!!!1111!1one1"

Two things:

Common sense (don't download and open every .exe application you see, you dolt. One of the many things people do.)

Windows has a majority of the market share, making it a prime target for malware writers.

Done.

3. "Windows security is a joke! So it's so easy to hack!!11!"
