Yeah, well, okay -- my advice to you is never to buy a Windows PC.

Anyway, you want to know what really irritates me about Windows? When
you boot up your computer, Windows comes on and says "Welcome."
Welcome, to my own computer! It's like coming home, opening the door,
and finding a stranger who says, "Hi, welcome to your home." "Who the
&%$# are you, what the %$&* are you doing in my house, and get the
#&^% out of here now before I break your ^#$@ neck!" It really bugs
the hell out of me that Microsoft has the audacity to welcome me to
my own computer. That is presumptuousness beyond all bounds, as far
as I'm concerned.

My biggest pet peeve: "Windows is shutting down."
Hello, should it not be "Windows *are* shutting down"?
