Windows Programmers = Shitty Software
Today I visited download.com, a website that provides links to software available for download, some free some not. I browsed the web site only to realize that all the programs are crap. I shouldn't harass the software because they didn't do anything wrong, I should harass the shitty programmers for creating this utter crap. This problem spurs mainly from windows programmers. Windows programmers are useless pieces of shit that take no consideration for GUI design and system integration, unlike Mac programmers. I will highlight several programs and discuss why they are shit.
Konfabulator:
Desktop widgets are great providing relevant information at the press of a button, but konfabulator has been beat by Dashboard, Apple's remake. Konfabulator was great when nothing else existed, but the widgets in their widget gallery suck. The only integration seems to be with iTunes (another great piece from Apple). The problem with Konfabulator widgets is that when you try to retrieve info from the web, all it does is open another browser window, as if you couldn't have done that yourself.
AIM (AOL Instant Messenger)
Shitty for display ads on the contact list window, and not being able to customize aliases for your buddies (because most of them suck for using characters like ==,++,:-),##). These two items are fixed with the latest AIM Triton (their beta version), but the aliases are surrounded by quotation marks, suggesting they're a magazine article or some other minor work of literature.
Windows 1.0 - Windows Vista (longhorn AKA long delay)
Windows has always been crap. First it enables programmers with less than a high school diploma to create shitty useless software. Third party integration sucks with it and other Microsoft apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, due to the lack of API's. Security is weaker than an open gated prison. Every time you install another shitty program, you get files placed all over your drive, including systems folders. Finally it spawned narcissist Paul Thurott, who admires Windows and Microsoft to the point of retardation.
Now you might be wondering who am I, a film student, to be judging these pieces of crap. Well, before I decide to pursue a career in film, I was a computer programmer. I decided to change my course because I didn't want to be stuck in a 4x4 cube eight hours a day. Most film makers use the Mac, and being a future film maker, I will be using the Mac. Soon I will dispose of this useless HP crap machine for another Macintosh. I can't wait.

I was inspired by this post to take my own take on things on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration Mike. =)
I totally agree with all of this.
