I just like the idea that Windows users can't go for more than a page without resorting to a flame war. By about message 20, they'd forgotten that it had anything to do with humour, and were talking about OS/2 vs Windows!
You know, I like MR so much more because it is unlike most forums out there - full of repetitive, idiotic flamewars. Moderation is a PITA and I'm glad that MR has energetic moderation. Otherwise our forum would be just another collection of ignorance and whatnot.
Pretty much every time I walk through Waterloo station the big screen above the Eurostar terminal is on the fritz. It seems with Windows that the more important it is for it to work, the more likely it is to go wrong.

Speaking of which, I've seen many instances like this where there's some sort of kiosk running and the system as errored out, sometimes even with the BSOD. Always good for a chuckle.
When I was in San Francisco last spring, the tv monitors at the Millbrae BART station all had Windows Program Errors on them. I laughed, and hugged my PowerBook.
