When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nobody expects that just because they've made computers better they're going to give them to you free.
I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.
Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft.
Who decides what's in Windows? The customers who buy it.
Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.
If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird.
People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.
Software is like sex: it's better when it's free.
Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
