Funny but true
Saturday, November 30, 2002 by The Rated PG | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
There are three engineers in a car: an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car engine shuts off, leaving the three engineers stranded by the side of the road. All three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong. The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere. Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion, "Why don`t we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it`ll work !?"

found it...5 days old or so...
"Is Windows a virus?
No, Windows is not a virus.
Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly. Okay, Windows does that.
Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so. Well...Okay, Windows does that too.
Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk. Okay, Windows does that, too.
Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems... Alright... Windows does that, too.
Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow and the user will buy new hardware...Yup, that's with Windows, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:
Viruses are well supported by their authors, will run on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient, and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
Guess that means Windows is *not* a virus!!!
