Windows is good enough. It's a bit overly complex and its very easy to screw up a Windows install, but for the most part it does what it has to do.
What I really don't like is Microsoft. They've done some very
intelligent things with Windows. Especially with all the security stuff with Vista which, if anything, encourages piracy. I can't do one Google search about a Windows product without turning up something that says "new torrent for (the Microsoft product) that gets around (whatever new security feature Microsoft made up)" or something like that.
I'm very much opposed to Piracy myself, but the fact is that it will always be there and they'll always find a way to get around new security features. The only new security features do is (when there's some kind of bug) lock people out of their OS even when they bought it legitimately. That actually happened to a friend of mine when he first got a Vista machine.
But anyway, now that my little rant is over. Windows, although it does have it's issues, is definately not the worst piece of technology I've ever used. I'd have to say the worst pieces of technology mankind has created are cars. I hate cars. They're loud, smelly, expensive, and dangerous. Plus, people are idiots when they drive!
