depends on the wind

Depends on the wind is and old Canadian East Coast / Maritime expression which denotes that the final result of whatever situation that is being refered to will depend on the resolution of other factors and influences that have not yet been finalized.
Sometimes unforseen variables will have such an impact on things to come that it is foolish to make a prediction on the ultimate outcome until more information is available .

In other words, it is too early to say for sure what will happen .
EX 1 ;

" do you think we'll be able to take the boat out today ? "

- " Depends on the wind . "

Ex 2 ;

" So are you gonna hook up with that hot hootchie mamma or what ? "

- " That, my friend, depends on the wind "

Windows rot

Windows rot is a colloquialism encapsulating the belief that computers using various versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system suffer incremental and inevitable degradation of responsiveness and performance over time.
Windows users complain about having to reinstall their operating system when suffering Windows rot, because they are are unable or unwilling to invest in the time sink of many frivolous tasks necessary to maintain a healthy system.

Windows Vista

A new version of Windows from Microsoft that looked good in development, and still looks good now. Unfortunately, that's the only improvement. The new Microsoft office that can come with some versions of Vista is terrible and difficult to use. It also oftentimes causes the computer to lag, a lot.

The last flaw I am going to point out (Although this is my majority-supported opinion) is that the security is so up tight that there is hardly anything you can run on Vista without the computer asking for permission to run it, even if it is something from Microsoft. If you want to ask me, stay with Windows XP.
Guy #1: I have good news and bad news.

Guy #2: What's the bad news?

Guy #1: I just got Windows Vista. It lags like crazy.

Guy #2: Sorry about that. So, what's the good news?

Guy #1: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!

Guy #3: I didn't see THAT coming!
