An operating system that people love to hate. Especially Linux and Mac users love to exaggerate the stability of Windows. They are of course full of bullshit. Windows is user-friendly unlike Linux, and runs most $oftware, unlike Mac OS. I just wish some one would make it open source. Hack Micro$oft!
My installation of Windows XP has functioned since 2001 even though I install programs almost daily.

The first virus ever to have a formal appearance and a multimillion company.
Man, who would think a shitload of programmers would need 10GB for a virus? Script kiddies are better than them! Millions of viruses designed to work on top of the Windows virus! That's neat!

Written by programmers who use Linux, a far superior operating system. Saying Windows is good because everyone uses it is just like saying fast food is healthy because everyone eats it. Does things now that other operating systems could have done when they were being written (e.g. Linux).
Example: The typical Windows shell, the Blue Screen of Death

When capitalized: An GUI (graphical user interface) operating system first released in 1986 by Microsoft Corporation. When not capitalized: A glass plate inside of a wall that lets light into buildings.
Every operating system has errors and crashes every once in a while, no matter if you're running Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or whatever. Deal with it, guys!

The mostly criticised operating system by Microsoft. It is known as a laughable operating system by many because of it's frequent crashes, high amount of viruses and the fact that Microsoft copies from other OSes, for example: Windows Calendar looks similar to Apple's iCal. It started off as an executable for DOS systems, went on to be a nearly full operating system with the Windows 3.x and 9x series (c:/con/con, anyone?) and then did not require DOS. When Ballmer decided to replace the beloved classic of Microsoft, Bill Gates, starting with Vista, Windows went downhill.
~~Before~~ Gates: We need functionality, less RAM consumption and a clean UI for Windows! ~~After~~ Ballmer: PRETTY CLOCK, PRETTY UI, WHO CARES ABOUT RAM CONSUMPTION, ADD MORE FEATURES!!!1
