Yeah... I can just imagine Microsoft's OS for a quantum computer...

I know it's just humour but from your use of the PNG format I'd guess you're a Linux bod ... why exactly would MS be incapable of writing an OS for anything given the success they've had so far? I mean let's be brutally honest here ... for all the criticism MS has been far more successful than any Linux distro or indeed the whole community combined and yes I know the Linux revolution is coming (as indeed it has been for over 10 years).

I really don't have a red hot poker up my bum about MS ... at the end of the day their OS's just work.

Well, they *kinda* work.

Yeah, OS choice is a holy war, fer shure.

I use Windows daily, so naturally I find more issues with it.
But, having worked with the internals for both Unix and Windows, I can tell you that Unix is much better designed.
Windows is burdened in part by backward compatibility, but that doesn't explain it all.
Each version is larger, less elegant, and more bug filled.  I do have high hopes for Windows 7 tho...

BTW, the Clippy thing wa also funy on the AI level.  Clippy and "Bob" are among MS's worst attempts at AI.

"Bob"!
