The thing which is both micro and soft.
I'm giving it a separate entry here only because I had mostly trouble with it all the time between 1987 and 2019. After I learned to hate DOS, learning to hate them windowses was easy. And it's not any prejudice, before those I worked on three-four other operating systems, and each was better. And then I stopped working, so the last reason to keep anything from such a shitty company on my disk was gone. True, I kept using fox and Skype for a while afterwards, but these weren't written by them (they write very little of their own stuff), they bought them to fuck them up. Life is merrier without The Little Soft One.
Among the peaks of self-enamoredness is the dialog in the control panel with „internet options“. Somehow they think that anyone using a windows has the power to define settings for the whole internet, all over the globe. Wow. Of course, in the best of their tradition, it's a very stupid misnomer. It means „options for the Microsoft internet explorer“. The one place where prefixing everything with their company name isn't redundant, because it indeed was a perfect tool to explore the Microsoft internet. Not any other internet, though.
I started a topic on burundi, titled „Mali mekani“ (the little soft one), dedicated to it.
„your machine may be suboptimal“
There are no jokes about Microsoft. It's all true.
