Epic Bill Gates e-mail rant from 2003

Windows 95*: Click the Start button, same as you do for everything else. At the bottom of the menu, select Shut Down. Confirm that you really do want to shut down.

Mac: Click on the icon of a face. Near the bottom of the menu, select Shut Down. Confirm that you really do want to shut down.

OMG you’re right! Macs are SO MUCH more intuitive! Steve Jobs is a god!

There are things that Windows really does do poorly, and Macs really do do better. But most of the favorite examples that Apple fans trot out are just… dumb.

*As pointed out by GoatCheezInfrno, previously you’d have done everything through the File menu
