Top Ten Worst Uses for Windows

Oh, please, no. No "Top Ten" anything here. That's what Digg is for.

Is windows that bad on memory leaks? The author seem to think so. I'm pretty sure a windows 2000 (haven't had an xp or vista box) box can stay up for a long time without need for a reboot if no experimental software/driver is running on it. I remember windows 95 used to crash after like 30 days (if I recall correctly, can't remember where I read that).

I can't believe that Windows for Warships didn't make the list.

(I wish I was kidding, but I'm not - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/26/windows_boxes_at_sea... - this would be bad for an American warship, but this project is British, an excellent decision to use offshore closed source technolgy!)

Mind you that isn't as bad as the fact that the new British carriers will use an ammunition handling system based on the baggage system in use at Terminal 5 :(

And I thought that cards that sing when you open them running Windows was ridiculous.

They forgot robots. Microsoft is actually marketing a robotics suite! Its almost too cliche to even mention windows running robots going beserk etc....

Scheduled downtime isn't used in calculating 5 nines? Surely it should if it's that bad...

Oh god, I already trust Microsoft to slow down everything I do at home, but if my breathing apparatus in my hospital responsible for saving my life hits the BSOD, I am going to rise from the dead and eat some MS brains.
