Montreal is burning, but strangely, Windows is not.

Its that time of year again when roaring crowds cheer the arrival of the hockey playoffs. Its generally a time of boundless enthusiasm in Canada. In fact, fans celebrating the Montreal Canadiens game 7 victory over the Boston Bruins may have been a little to enthusiastic. Riots following the game resulted in 16 arrests, 5 burned-out police cars, and smashed windows along several blocks of Rue Ste. Catherine.

Things that ought to cause riots curiously don't, such as how horribly Windows sucks. The reasons why are outlined very nicely here, and by a long-time PC user to boot. Basically, Microsoft refuses to perform the radical overhaul Apple did between OS 9 and OS X and is suffering the consequences of solutions put in 25 years ago that are no longer valid.
