In case anyone missed it, here's five pages on what's wrong with Windows.

And, so that the Apple fanboys don't feel left out, five pages on what's wrong with OSX (and Apple in general).

And in case you're not as much of a geek as me and wouldn't enjoy reading ten pages of complaints about operating systems, here's a song that summed it all up nicely ten years ago.

Ten pages. Sorry to see you're so busy you couldn't read the whole post. I hope things calm down for you soon.

It's not interesting enough to read all of it, read the first page, got bored, sort of walked off.

Mine would've been Mega Drive/SNES related, but no-one I knew had a SNES so I was never exposed to fanboy battles as a child!

Amiga vs. ST was also the division in my schoolyard, but don't think any of us knew the concept of fisting back then. Thank goodness todays young 'uns have the internet to teach them such things.

I was ST and remember being crushed when i saw how much better the grass textures were on the amiga.

It was the ZX Spectrum squaring up to the Commodore 64 at my shool.
Occasionally a Vic20 or Acorn Electron would try and cut in, but they didn’t stand a chance.
As I recall, the Commodore had better sound and colour pallet, but the Speccy could sometimes win on resolution.
I had the Spectrum…and fuckin loved it!…..even if the "He Slimed Me" sound sample on Ghostbusters was not much better than background radiation interference on an old Tandy crystal radio set.

Ho. Lee. SHIT Hugo!

Me too! It was a fantastic bit of kit! I think mine had a wound carbon rod for making a radio. I remember those little springy connectors. Genius! Thanks for the memories!
