OMG I had to restrain myself from laughing my fool butt off right in my cube here at work.
You made my day (or, at least my lunch hour)

Name one of the problems he describe in his rant that has never happened to a Windows user.
If you can.

I've never had to press a clover leaf key to shut down a windows based program.

This was meant to be funny. And it is. Very funny.

To copy stuff, you hold down the option key; I believe Windows does it backwards, you hold down the Control key in order to make aliases (i.e. shortcuts.) So, on this point, it is six-of-one and half-dozen-of-the-other.Originally posted by Lt.Khrys Antos

I found the file to be an inaccurate rant with no real attempt at humor. Straight-forward complaining isn't funny, just annoying.
As for me, I abandoned Windoze after Win 95 / 98; Switched to a Mac with no regrets.

I found it hilarious.
Macheads will tell you nothing beats a Mac and why are you still using Windows, Microsofties will tell you Macs suck and ask why are still using one? It isn't objective, it's what people know and like. Each machine and each operating system has its faults. The early Apple architectures were superior to the choices IBM made, but that isn't even true any more. It's really just a question of which one does the best job with the tasks you do the most.

On an unrelated note, somehow my brother managed to mess up my iTouch keyboard by spilling beer into the numpad. Now a few keys are stuck, completely unrelated to the spill area, doing that annoying sound that a key is jammed. Restarts my comp or does some other weird thing.

Personally, I find things that lampoon what you like you find more funny than things you can't identify with. I found this very amusing. I like Macs and I dislike PC's - but then i would buy a PC for home.. because they are cheap and I am not rich!
Just because I like my mac (at work) doesn't make it any less slow, odd and crash-prone

I like Mac humor. . . even humor that lampoons Macs. But, as I said before, the piece in question was just complaining at high volume with no real attempt to tell a joke. Complaining and ranting is funny only when John Cleese does it on Fawlty Towers; Even then, there are jokes within his tirades.

No that's not right....
