Happy 30th Birthday, Windows!

At the time, it was derided as being slow, buggy, and clunky, but since then ... Well, it looks a lot better. .The Verge has a pictorial history of Windows through the years. What's your fondest memory of Bill Gates Blue Screen-of-death that could?

    Actually that you would attribute that to me is amusing. Apparently I and Coren have gotten under your skin so thoroughly that you think every random comment is either he (I think that's a he) or I, at it again, as though you were so important and so much on our minds. No, sir, this fixation is a one-sided fixation, belonging to you alone. Those of us who have lives have other things going on besides fucking with you on Slashdot, fun (in that fish-in-a-barrel way) though that may be. Really now, you're beginning to show signs of paranoia. Wait, nevermind. We're all out to get you. ^H^H^H^H^H etc...

    Being a demonstrably single-minded creature, I suppose it never dawned on you to think, if I were going to create another account for the purpose of being sock puppet, would I really give it such an obvious name as "MyAlternateID?" No, I wouldn't. I'd make at least the slightest effort to be inconspicuous. I know you think you hold a monopoly on cleverness, but really, you don't. I honestly and blatantly named my second account so it would indicate that there is a primary account because I did not wish to hide this fact. But my primary account is not one you seem to have guessed so far. If it makes you feel better, this particular account has never once received mod points (again - as though you were so important that I would waste them dealing with you - ah, the ego...).
