The Five Stages Of Windows Acceptance

The stages are:


Denial: "I'm not gonna switch, my version of Windows has everything I need."

Anger: "This version of Windows is crap. Micrsoft will go under. Everyone is switching to Linux/Macs. The Windows code base is trash, Microsoft will pull a Mac OS X, and use Unix."

Bargaining: "I'll switch after SP2. / I'll skip this version of Windows."

Depression: "I'm not used to this version of Windows. / Old hardware doesn't work with it."

Acceptance: "I'm okay with this version of Windows."



Stages Repeat with new version of Windows. Thirteen year olds everywhere rejoice as they can look cool by pissing on Microsoft, even though they a) use Windows/have never used Linux b) only hate Windows because they got spyware from looking at porn/installing warez c) everyone else is doing it.
