Windows Phone 7

The undiscovered iPhone killer. The UI is simpler than the iPhone. Offers XBOX Live service, to be updated to become more comprehensive in the Fall "Mango" update. Offers Zune, which can enable unlimited downloading and streaming on the go via a $150 annual Zune Pass option. Zune Pass also enables the user to own 120 songs that are not restricted to being played by Zune capable devices (i.e. Macs, other MP3 players). Offers Microsoft Office and multiple synchronization services, via Sharepoint or Skydrive. Pioneered many ease of use functions that will now be incorporated into Apple's new iPhone 5. Additionally has many phone models than the iPhone, but are all built on the same phone hardware base (thereby providing different form factors for the exact same phone).

Will be adding user friendly and practical features in the Fall "Mango" update, most notably being Local Scout (delivers an array of local features and places to the user), Image/Music search (On-demand search of visual/audio feedback via Bing/Zune/3rd Party Applications), Email integration (Can congregate email accounts together, supports email "conversation" format), and will also be adding more third party support for "Live Tile" homescreen interfaces.

Has a notable lack of advertising, and has never flaunted its own ego like a jackass. Android or iOS have clearly done so on national television.
I'm loving my Windows Phone 7 device, but seriously Microsoft, where's the product placement?

The fanciest version of Solitaire I've ever played.
Of course, we all love the BSOD every few minutes too. Silly Windows.

Windows XP

Since the advent of that abominable Vista, Windows XP has officially become not only the best operating system Microsoft has ever released, but one of the best operating systems EVER released.
All my computers run Windows XP. The new laptop I bought came preset with Vista so I did a clean install of Windows XP only to discover that none of the hardware was compatible. I later woke up in the hospital after having suffered a myocardial infarction due to being extremely pissed off.

Shame on you Microsoft. You've disappointed us all with your fucking Vista.

Windows Button

1. A button on your keyboard that allows you to open your start menu.

2. That button you always seem to press when you're gaming and it takes you to your desktop. When you open your game up again, you're dead.
1. It's so convenient to have this button here so that I can access the start menu easier.

2. I was playing Counter-Strike yesterday. I was doing incredibly well until I accidentally pressed the windows button.

Windows Media Connect

Windows Media Connect itself is one of the most horribly engineered programs in existence today. It is imposible to get it to run correctly even if you follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. If by some act of God you have gotten this program to work flawlessly, you must be burned at the stake for being a Witch.
omg ALL i wanted was to SHARE my MEDIA!!
(puts gun to head)
Burn in HELL Windows Media Connect!
(BAM!)

windows neptune

A version of Microsoft Windows that was do to arrive at the same time as windows 2000, but never made it past the second beta. It was supposed to be a home version of windows 2000, but was cancelled by Microsoft, and later merged with Windows XP.
I can't believe Windows Neptune got cancelled, looks like it's time for 98 again.
