Windows 3.1

An archaic operating system from the early 1990s.

Unlike modern PCs and MACs, it didn't have a START menu or toolbar; it had a program manager application. It was one of the first GUI Windows platforms, an upgrade of Windows 3.0.

3.1 was the first system I ever worked with, waaay back when I was four or five. 3.1 was a good machine, capable of handling any game from Reader Rabbit to the Oregon Trail (CD).

Then we upgraded to Windows 95, which had a better interface.

But Windows 3.1 will be dear to me forever, for it was my first computer OS ever.

pwnage window

When debating stuff on the interweb and you post an incorrect detail within your finely honed theory, you're leaving a pwnage window open for others to pwn you.

As such, it's an inaccuracy others can exploit.

Feck! There was I extolling Billy Dean's heterosexual virtues and he's opened a pwnage window on me by posting a twatload of Gay Elvis Porn at The Club :dry:

Online window shopping

The act of browsing through items that are available for purchase online without the intention of purchasing them.

I don’t usually have much money, so I do a lot of online window shopping.

Windows 98

I hate to tell you "asshats" this, but Windows 98 is actually a 16 and 32-bit hybrid system. It's basically Windows 95 with IE integrated into explorer.
It crashes alot, because it's an operating system designed to run 32-bit applications, but still runs on a 16-bit subsystem, namely DOS.
Alot of instabilities, however, aren't the cause of 'Doze itself, and are usually IRQ conflicts and/or lame, fagass applications (read: AOL) being installed by the user.

Ted: What a cockup this Windows 98 is.
Bill: You try doing something better with reused code, assclown.
