"What's on my mind?!!!" - Windows = F***ing Rainman of Operating Systems!
Took pictures of day out with kids. Plugged my phone into laptop (with windoze installed). - windoze recognised phone as "g:" but would not show files - f***ing reta**ed!
Tried it again same dumb-*** result. Switched phone off then on. Restarted (or reta**ed) Windows. F*** sake - phone is bog-standard mass-storage device. Mac OS sees it, Linux sees it but Windows in it's spastic attempt to be a modern OS (e.g. a 102 year old granny tarting herself up to look like Kylie Minogue) decides to assign it a drive letter, randomly changes it to F: or G: (a throwback to MS-DOS circa.1982 and drive letter assignment governed by moon and tidal movement predictions). After 10 minutes of re-plugging USB cables and watching stupid notifications "Windows is searching for a driver" (the only driver it needs is a 9-iron to the back of the head). Eventually it works - whoppi-f***ing-doo!. It takes just a few seconds fo my Linux laptop to do this but Windows just sits there, slaps itself in the face and drools like a grinning ret**d. I Open Internet Explorer navigate to Facebook and then Windows announces "Explorer has encountered a problem and will shut down because the site you were visiting may contain harmful content". I'll show you harmful content - try dealing with battery acid b*tch! After 1/2 an hour I upload my photos to Facebook. Using Windows is like running down a flight of stairs while holding a pair of scissors - it's a matter of time before you gouge your eyes out or dropping your trousers rubbing ky-jelly on your sphincter and bending over a table in a gay bar - at some point you are going to get f***ed!

I gave up on Windows 2008 after been dualbooting since 2005-2006. I just realised that i didn't boot windows anymore and could use that hd space to something better. Nowadays i am running Ubuntu 10.10 alpha 2 and love it everyday.

Yet it's running 90% of the world's computers.

I've used Linux and Mac. They have their share of kinks. I always come back to Windows. You just need to learn how to deal with it. Just like an iPhone 4

Too many asterisks in my opinion.

For the record I use both Windows and Linux. I agree that windows compared to linux is shi-asterisk-t..but I never ever had problems with it recognizing my phones or pendrives.

There was probably something going on with your phone. Either its not a "bog-standard" mass storage device or you had a loose USB connection.

I'm an atheist and don't believe in any religion but for the first time in my life I prayed to god and said "please, please tell me this guy is being sarcastic"
