Always chuckle a bit when I see them in those windows 9X or XP style dialogs. As if I don't know what window style my pc has.
There where a few that looked like ubuntu popups, but that was a while back around when windows7 first came out

I always understood that those were fake. I mean, you cant scroll a messagebox. (Unless its an error box.. #ProgrammingProblems)

I got a call the other night from someone with some kind of Asian accent, who claimed to be from Micro$oft, and said that they had noticed a problem with my computer (!). I told him (a) he had no way of knowing what was up with my computer, (b) I used Linux and wouldn't touch M$ again with a ten-foot pole, and (c) what was his employee number?
