Gov't should run like Linux, using as few resources as possible, be transparently open source, and cost as little as possible. Instead, we have a Window$ based gov't which is an expensive, bloated and a frustrating maze of compliance issues, it consumes vast resources and is a proprietary secret-source monopoly that spies on its user that crashes frequently, and if you need help, it's useless.
You’ve just scratched the surface of government comparisons to windows. Useless upgrades that make it harder for the user and easier to spy on you. When it reaches its end of life it takes everything you put into it and disappears and makes you buy another newer version and then buy everything else you had put into the last version. Then learn how to keep the new version from spying on you and robbing you blind.
I came up with this analogy years ago but it never gained traction. Since you're so knowledgeable with software, it would be cool to see an article detailing just how corrupt microsquish is. Cheers!

Perhaps it also should, like xubuntu, have a rat as its emblem. ;)
I don't know, it seems the penguin is looking more apt these days, wandering off to the mountains. xD
Beautiful analogy.
That's an excellent analogy.

Amen and hallelujah to the sentiment....
Leave us the hell alone. Really, that's all we're asking for.
Ideally!!! Yes
Hear hear!
