Windows 

1) Holes put in walls of buildings, often rectangular or square, which contain glass. They are there to both let in light and provide a nice view of the outside world.

2) The most popular Computer Operating System today, 'invented' by Microsoft Corporation. It has good ease of use and a wide range of commercial software available.

Many computer experts ('nerds') say that Windows is bloated, unstable, insecure and requires users to upgrade too often. However, Windows is a perfectly fine Desktop OS for non, semi computer literate people and gamers, provided they can install a firewall, virus scanner and spyware remover.

However, for people more experienced with computers or for business applications, other Operating Systems such as Linux or *BSD are faster, more stable and secure, cheaper (erm, free) and more customisable than Windows.

Unfortunately, most of these OSes are harder to use and cannot run Windows software, although there are good free alternatives to Windows software for OSes like Linux such as Open Office for MS Office and Mozilla for IE.

windows update 

also known as a privacy intrusion, to see how big of a p***y you are. think about the definition versus the pronunciation.

I downloaded a windows update today about a virus that targeted only windows users. Once I downloaded this, i got various error messages saying how scared and afraid i was and how worthless i am to the empire of microsoft, comrade. the virus coudln't possibly be as bad as the updates.

Windows Vista 

A target for mac users to trash. Actually, it is a very powerful OS that is supported by any developers. It only crashes when an inexperienced user makes it crash, and is perfectly secure when a decent antivirus program is installed. Mac users blame it for copying Mac's GUI, when really Mac copied the idea of a GUI from Xerox. The only problem with Vista is the addition of User Account Control, which can be disabled easily. Overall, it's a great operating system that is user friendly as well as configurable.

Windows Vista User: Wanna play some Halo 2?
Mac User: No, I use a Mac. Vista is too bloated for my tastes.
Vista User: I have a half-decent system, so the requirements are no problem.
Mac User: That must have cost a fortune!
Vista User: Not at all. It definitely costs less than your Mac.
Mac: Well, your PC probably can't edit photos and videos, just like the new version of Mac OS X can.
Vista User: If I wanted to, I could have been doing those things for years.
Mac User: Fine, if you say so. I'm going to create photo masterpieces with Photobooth and share them on Facebook.
Vista User: So you're going to make heart shapes with your hands and take sepia pictures of yourself then add some kind of fagetty quote? Just give up.

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.
