My reaction was "what the fark?"

I mean the layers of crap on crap. Just wow.

The effort they put in to do all that was surely more than it would've taken to just ship, oh, any version of Linux? Or even the open-sourced version of dos? (I kid, I kid!)

Very, very interesting reading. I'm kind of shocked.
