I love the way Microsoft follows standards. In much the same manner that fish follow migrating caribou.-- Paul Tomblin

Microsoft Windows
We think our software is far more secure than open-source software. It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software.-- Steve Ballmer

Too many "innovators", especially in the U.S., are resting on their laurels collecting government monopoly profits. At least Microsoft got their monopolies with good old-fashioned misleading marketing, channel strong-arm tactics, and predatory pricing. They worked for it!-- Geoff Parker
I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.-- Richard B. Johnson
It seems the only aspect of Microsoft NT which scales well is the price.

16-bit operating environments
The early versions of Windows
People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.
If you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race, I would give the same answer that most people would: nuclear war, global warming, and Windows.-- Dave Barry
Who is General Failure and why is he reading my disk?
The only thing that I'd rather own than Windows is English, because then I could charge you two hundred and forty-nine dollars for the right to speak it.-- Scott McNealy

Windows had detected you do not have a keyboard. Press 'F9" to continue.
So it is that Microsoft, by refusing to secure almost half of its installed desktop base, is trying to force ... customers to upgrade to XP. I guess since Microsoft can no longer offer the carrot of Longhorn, it's now using the whip of poor security.-- Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols

This summer Microsoft is going to introduce the first portable toilet with Internet access. You know why it's the first? Because nobody wants a toilet with Internet access. What is that? Is that really the future? Remember, we thought it would be flying cars, now it's an outhouse you can plug in.-- Jay Leno

The only thing Microsoft has done for society is make people believe that computers are inherently unreliable.-- Bradford L. Barrett

Windows XP -now comes with free anger management courses.
The nice thing about Windows is -- It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.-- Arno Schaefer
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.-- Bill Gates
Now if Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed.... Oh. He does.

History
Microsoft has taken two parallel routes in its operating systems. One route has been for the home user and the other has been for the professional IT user. The dual routes have generally led to home versions having greater multimedia support and less functionality in networking and security, and professional versions having inferior multimedia support and better networking and security.[citation needed]
