I Am SO Done with Windows 2.0

I suspect this is targeted at people who are giving Microsoft a hard time over problems in Windows XP and prior- For instance, people still joke about Windows Bluescreens, but they are a very infrequent occurrence in Win7.

It's true - satire is at its worst when it's blatantly labelled as such.

Is this satire? What is the underlying message... I feel it's gone over my head.

BSODs once a day or so with the high-end Windows 7 64-bit boxes.

More often, if they try to run backups with them.

Yes, diagnostics have been run, etc.

Microsoft has problems with the permutations and the qualifications and all the anti-malware stuff, unfortunately; they're phenomenal with dealing with all that, and phenomenal is just holding even with the complexity they have to deal with.

I bet it doesn't run at all.

I declare that you don't have any good reason to complain about something that's really your fault. If you use any outdated OS the amount of features are about the same.

You could honestly spend $100 on craigslist and get a computer with XP on it.
