I still don't get what you guys have against Windows. Bill Gates has done so much good for the world.

(My body is ready.)

I don't mind all the ads, they're always for things I was just thinking I needed to buy anyway.

Wow there, easy, you’re gonna end up on ER.

At the very least take a smal phone.

Bill Gates actually was pretty cool, it's windows after Bill Gates that's terrible. I can't say there was anything Bill Gates did that I didn't like, he was like the Gabe Newell of operating systems before steamdeck.

I don't think this statement is controversial and besides I own sex toys lol.

Bill Gates was actually cool. The only bad thing he ever did as far as I'm aware, was lock direct X into windows. He even spends all of his time now in charity work and funding science. I think he was a great guy. This is why windows used to be the best operating system. He was smart and not overly greedy. He didn't care for spyware or corporate espionage on citizens. Windows was a relatively open system. Not as open as Linux, but very open and good, and it had excellent tools and a really good user interface. Now windows is terrible, but this is after he left Microsoft.
