Well, everyone knows that Windows is "innovative", "easy
to use", and "has an attractive graphical user interface".
This is because Microsoft includes a cheap swinging watch
with every box, plus a small book purporting to explain
methods employed by Franz Anton Mesmer.
Contrast this to Linux's "ancient", "ugly", and
"inconsistent" user interface (which is of course
"ancient", "ugly", and "inconsistent" only because the
Wintroolies say so -- the flip side of Aero, basically).
