The only thing missing is the portrait of Stalin

I found this personal computing polemic in the Guardian mostly forgettable, but the following quote really captures what I can’t stand about Windows:
It’s grim, it’s slow, everything’s badly designed and nothing really works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981.
The only thing missing, of course, is the portrait of Stalin. That, and the nostalgia: some people actually claim to miss the trappings of totalitarian communism. But it’s one thing to hoard Vita-Cola; no one is so depraved as to pine for Windows 98.
