    I once knew someone who became an insurance salesman.

    When hanging around, after a while all conversations drifted towards stuff he could insure against.

    This is what using windows feels like

      It really doesn’t. I mean I hate windows to the point of having it in my signature on my email, but let’s not perfect this is true. If your going to say what’s bad about it, tell the truth so people know. It’s not trying to sell you anything, it just sucks as an operation system, has more holes in it then swiss cheese, and it’s so convoluted that their own devs have to compete against each other.

          Somehow you got downvoted even while there’s the occasional full-screen startup spam:


          "WANNA SUBSCRIBE TO OFFICE?

          ENABLE DEEPER AD DATA TARGETING?! (you can’t disable ads)"


          Options:

          {YES PLZ (here monee)}

          /

          {I’m so dumb I clearly don’t know what I’m missing by refusing your products and services. Remind me very soon.}

          You mean that thing that is in about every commercial product, but unlike those other options can can be turned off in Windows with one single click on a checkbox?

            Uh, the commercial products I use don’t contain ads, dunno what the hell you’re on about
