Windows is an utter kludge, the ultimate tar baby, sucking you in, making
things harder and harder, until you are hopelessly snagged and stuck,
exhausted from fighting with it, resigned to despair. It is an inscrutable,
god-awful mess, a disaster waiting to happen, a bonehead botch-job jammed
with you-can't-get-there-from-here idiocy. They could train soldiers to
kill by forcing them to struggle with this.
