Bad Apples, Bad Windows.

Microsoft executive Kevin Turner compares Apple's Iphone4 to Windows Vista which means he is calling it crap.  Source   Don't worry Apple, he could have said that the Iphone4 was like Windows Millennium. *shudders*  As a matter of fact, let's revisit the pile of crap that was Windows Me.  I was one of the few unfortunate to have owned a machine with this OS on it and to this day I still have nightmares about it.  No joke.  If people were angry enough about it,  this could have single-handedly put Microsoft out of business. Yes it was worse than Windows Vista.  Microsoft has made sure  to never mention this OS when they talk about their corporation.  Windows Me is like the problem kid you keep up in the attic and not tell anyone he exists.

Right before our sentimental Microsoft favorite Windows XP and right after Windows 98, was the short-lived (and never should have been born) Windows Me.  It was supposed to be the operating system to usher in the new millennium.  The only thing it did was become the nightmare of many people who upgraded from Windows 98. You could not get anything done on this machine because when it wasn't crashing, it was taking large amounts of time to complete tasks.  Then when you did get a program to run, it would freeze.  When you got it to unfreeze itself and tried to turn the machine off, it wouldn't turn off!  I will not even go into the system restore part of it, it was like some sort of exorcist machine if you ran it.    I could go on and on with the issues.

I guess the iphone4 fiasco gives Microsoft and Apple something in common.  Both corporations now have their attic children.    I guess you can add Apple's retarded circle mouse  (and their current one for that matter), Pippin (I don't remember anyone actually owning one of those things)  or anything that they have ever produced that was not a flat screen desktop, laptop or music player.  Remember the TV, the printers, the cameras?  Yeah Steve Jobs wants you to not remember those either.

The 20th Anniversary Mac (which costs 9 grand , yes you read it right 9 grand and it came delivered in a limo but looked like a shiny $200.00 Dell) will not be included in this discussion because then this blog would be about 5 pages longer in the bad products/highway robbery and this is bullshit discussion.

I will have plenty to write about tomorrow when Apple and Steve Jobs have their press conference about the Iphone4 situation.  I can just see it now.  The first 15 minutes will be him informing everyone about how much of a valued customer they are, but saying it in the most condescending way possible.
