    The very second I saw this headline on Slashdot, I knew people would feel the overwhelming need to make Windows jokes, and the crackhappy Slashbot moderators would be falling over themselves to mod it up fast enough.

    What a clever and original joke. The effort exerted to make such a connection left me in utter awe at the fact. And the way he lets you know it is a joke with the "Oh wait" part at the end! Gets me every time they do that...every single time, in every single article with the word "window" in the headline.
