Right side: Windows being the high-maintenance drama queen it truly is - "No honey, I need you to update, AND THEN update again, AND THEN restart because apparently I can't figure out how to do all this in one step!" The absolute TRAUMA of waiting through multiple reboots while your deadline approaches. And we just take it! Stockholm syndrome at its finest!
