In my opinion, Windows is a fairly nice operating system that I haven't had any problems with since we installed XP.

Get the Windows mug.The biggest piece of shit in the toilet otherwise known as Microsoft operating systems. It's a magnet for malware, spyware, viruses, etc. A computer running Vista (or Windoze Visuck, as I like to call it) will constantly freeze, crash and do other weird shit that other operating systems don't do.
Oh, and it comes with a lot of bloatware and other stuff you'll never use.

Windows user: Hey, have you tried Windows Vista yet? It's like, totally awesome and so much cheaper than a Mac!!!!
Mac user: I have, and it's SHIT! I don't care if Macs are expensive, you don't have to worry about viruses, bloatware and all the other crap that comes with Vista!

Get the Windows mug.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!"
Only here will I give you compensation. Yes, Windows security is pretty bad.
But guess what? An IT tech friend of mine said that a Macintosh would take about a few minutes to hack into, and Linux would take about the same amount of time.
I bet no one ever considered the security of alternate operating systems besides Windows, because they're all pretty bad by themselves.
He even showed me how. And this friend is certified in computer security, so he would know. Stop listening to all that propaganda, people.

I'd love to do more, but I'd spend hours trying to pin point everything.
Microsoft Windows: use it right, and it won't fail you. I'm perfectly fine with the XP OS I've been running for quite some time. It has slowed down a bit from age, but I have never even defragged the hard drive due to memory constraints.

Get the Microsoft Windows mug.A very bad media player in comparison to others like winamp. Has the tendancy to miss the first two seconds of an audio file. It has a very complicated layout and large window size making a simple task like playing an audio file a chore. Ripping music is almost pointless due to this. on the plus side WMP opens faster than its competitors allowing you to play a file almost instantainiously. WMP also suffers from its horrid lack of plug-ins and the windows web sites don't even supply them for download.

Get the windows mug.The new name for MSN Messenger when, what was suppose to be MSN 8, comes out. This is because Microsoft are re-branding many of there famous products, such as, Microsoft Office which is planned to be one of the things integrated into WLM.
Bill Gates: Hey, lets change MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger and throw away the whole of MSN and the MSN butterfly because I suck!
