A decent OS with the most versatility of all OSes. Seriously. This thing can run just about any program and/or application.
Let's go on to debunking common misconceptions about Windows...
1. "Windows crashes like every 5 seconds!!1!1OMG another blue screen!"
While Windows does crash, the amount of times it does and how often is usually dependent on many other factors, those factors involving how much people actually take care of their computers.
Since most people don't know how to simple things like defragment their hard drives every once in awhile, and not open every e-mail attachment they get, it's no wonder people have their computers crash all the time.
Out of the approximate 8 years that I've been using a computer running Windows, I have only gotten the BSoD twice. Twice. And they were both due to me running too many applications over night, anyway. Thank God it did too. I probably would've fried my HDD from the constant strain I was stupidly putting on the CPU.
Take care of your computer, and you don't get crashes. Simple as that.
2 "I'm always getting viruses!!11! Windows always gets viruses!11!! You need to have antivirus stuff!!!!1111!1one1"
Two things:
Common sense (don't download and open every .exe application you see, you dolt. One of the many things people do.)
Windows has a majority of the market share, making it a prime target for malware writers.
Done.
3. "Windows security is a joke! So it's so easy to hack!!11!"
Only here will I give you compensation. Yes, Windows security is pretty bad.
But guess what? An IT tech friend of mine said that a Macintosh would take about a few minutes to hack into, and Linux would take about the same amount of time.
I bet no one ever considered the security of alternate operating systems besides Windows, because they're all pretty bad by themselves.
He even showed me how. And this friend is certified in computer security, so he would know. Stop listening to all that propaganda, people.
I'd love to do more, but I'd spend hours trying to pin point everything.
Microsoft Windows: use it right, and it won't fail you. I'm perfectly fine with the XP OS I've been running for quite some time. It has slowed down a bit from age, but I have never even defragged the hard drive due to memory constraints.

Windows FP (aka: Windows Fisher Price), is the successor to Windows 2000.
Also known as 'Windows XP'. This was the last stand of a dying corporation to save itself, from itself. The interface was designed by the team who delivered the Apple Macintosh almost twenty years earlier, but is neither as stable, nor as easy to use.
Windows FP was seen by many as an attempt to make the Windows OS more Mac-like. However, with a GUI incapable of smooth transitions, the results appear more like melted-candy corn than the inimitable Mac OS X that it tries so hard to be.
Visual cues apparently have been taken from the local kindergarden. Everything is either big, lurid, or unnecessary (sometimes all three). Plagued with problems throughout, it's party-piece was it's ability to crash all by itself.
Me: "Dude, is that your lil' bro's toy you rollin'?"
You: "No dude, it's my new Windows FP"

An activity that envolves throwing bouncy balls or tiny pieces of uncooked meat at the second story window of an attractive girls home. Most common in warm climate areas such as California, Florida, and Texas. Infamous in Chicago, Illinois though.
Adam Levine decided to go Window Dopping on Martha's house last night. When a piece of sirloin stuck to her window, she didn't even know what hit her.

Letβs see, Windows Mobile DOES have free apps. With all smartphones, the ONLY thing they ever have to do is manage your contacts idiot! They only have to automatically manage your E-Mail, SMS, MMS, and social networking. Other phones such as Blackberry, iPhone, and Android phones also need a mandatory data connection so why JUST bash WinMo for also needing one? Also after using the HTC Touch Pro2 I can ensure the 3G is far from slow. Also Windows Mobile has a task manager to end apps if you aren't using them, the only reason they stay running is because the OS is MADE for multitasking and the ability to switch from app to app freely without having to start them all over. (Ex: Listening to music on Windows Media Player while replying to an text, then switching to the internet browser to copy and paste a paragraph into the Microsoft Word document you had running in the background for a project you had due for your boss, then when you finish the document you forward it straight to your boss through the E-Mail app w/o ever having to even touch a computer) They also have an option in the settings to close the app instantly when you click the 'X' (or to tap and hold the 'X') so you don't have to go through task manager. The only people who complain about Windows Mobile are the idiots too dumb to learn how to use something. Windows Mobile 6.5 has an awesome easy to use interface and on HTC phones they make it even easier to use with HTC Sense or TouchFlo 3D.
My favorite Windows Mobile phone out right now is the HTC Touch Pro2. Th best Windows Phone devices out right now are the Touch Pro2, the HTC HD2, the AT&T Tilt2, the HTC Fuze ECT. IMHO the HTC HD2 is an iPhone/Android killer, don't believe me? Go on YouTube and search up reviews for the HTC HD2.
