Microsloth Windows - /mi:'kroh-sloth" win"dohz/ (Or "Windoze",
/win'dohz/) A derogatory term for Microsoft Windows [...snip...]. Also
called just "Windoze", with the implication that you can fall asleep
waiting for it to do anything; the latter term is extremely common on
Usenet.

I've heard/seen it as a verb too - "he windozed while waiting for the
program to load..."

Take with a grain of salt, of course ;)
