There's No Escape From Windows Updates

Why pay for heating when you've got a perfectly good CPU that can hit 95°C under load? Some people benchmark their rigs to flex their specs, but the real pros are out here mining Bitcoin in winter and calling it "dual-purpose computing."

Vista promised revolutionary experiences but delivered driver incompatibilities and BSODs instead. Veterans of the OS wars carry these scars like badges of honor. Young devs excited about Apple's new tech have no idea what disappointment feels like.
