Downgrade? isn't that something truckers are supposed to watch for on mountain highways? Who in their right mind would want to go BACKWARDS in technology? That makes the following statement a fact, and not just an analogy...

"Windows is.... A 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical interface, sitting on an 8-bit operating system, originally written for a 4-bit processor by a 2-bit company without ONE BIT of common sense."
