The Economist puckers up and delivers this junk in its latest issue:
But the real difference between Unix-like operating systems and Windows is their design philosophies. Windows may squander computing power through its clumsy architecture. But by favouring simplicity of use over simplicity of design, Microsoft has been able to leverage cheap but powerful commodity hardware, to provide cost-effective software solutions. These may be complex in design—and full of bugs to boot—but, boy, are they easy to use and maintain. That’s a winning formula in anyone’s book, and the reason why Windows rightly rules the world.
There are a lot of firsts in this article, for example:
1) An OS with (evidently 250,000) bugs is desirable
2) Windows is easier to use than Macs
3) Windows is simpler to maintain than Macs
How much for that pony in the window?
