I think Microsoft is stupid because of the software they write. But I often think they're stupider for the software that they don't write.

For example, I recently got a DVD burner. Since Windows doesn't come with a burning tool, I had to install the software that came with it, "Nero", which appears to have been written by terrorists.

"Nero" sure does sound like one product, but once installed it's revealed to be a cornucopia of miserable little programs. A veritable infection of software. None of which, I'll point out, is labelled "BURN A DVD".

This kind of program should be taken behind the barn and shot.
