Much as UNIX-HATERS is all about people used to proper operating
systems getting annoyed at this shoddy Unix rubbish, so I suspect that
in the far future people will look back fondly upon the reliability of
Windows, as they deal with machines whose operating systems crash
thousands of times a second and automatically reboot. Probably
something Java-based - don't you love the way Java comes in huge
tottering Jenga stacks of code, and everything works by the code
shitting itself *by design* and the exception being caught? It's the
way of the future!
