I found this post through my blogrush widget. It's a list of comparisons of Girls with Windows and Boys with Linux. I think it's pretty funny if you think about it.

Oh, and if you have a girlfriend, don't compare her with Windows. She'll not like it.

Girls and Windows

• Both have a great UI.
• Both consume large resources and do less work.
• Both crash unexpectedly.
• Both are not easily portable on different architectures (environment).
• Both can't work on low resource architectures (environment).
• Both are costly to maintain.
• Both give mostly unexpected outputs.
• Both their working often contradicts with their documentation.
• Both are easily prone to viruses (rumors and doubts) and they (viruses) do spread very fast in windows based networks.
• In spite of all above disadvantages, both are liked.

Boys and Linux

• Both have an average UI.
• Both are robust.
• Both are highly secure.
• Both can be easily modified to support new concepts/features.
• Both are efficient.
• Both are easily portable to any architecture (environment) no matter how low the resources are.
• You can easily guess the output for your input (in Linux just open its code, for boys they are mostly transparent by nature).
• Both provide large support for development (work environment).
• Both are poorly documented.

Can you think of anything else that should be on this list?

invalid101 - I'm usually pretty chauvanist   2007-12-04 03:38:11 this is pretty sexist and degrading towards women. I mean... seriously. Women don't work as hard and have a great UI? Men are easily modified and more efficient? Come on now. I can name 50 people I know that are the opposite of this. In fact, for many points, they could be reversed. Women are of course high maintenance, but as far as portability is concerned. Well my girlfriends always say that they can't take me anywhere. Reply | Quote

Geras_Lord - Just a Joke enjoy and shut up   2007-12-04 05:30:10 Now a days is very often found people to point to facts for any reason that saw on internet, and the sense of humor is changing for an infinite world of opinions. So please have a sense to see a joke, smile and go on. Many womans already see this post and she said "fine is just an opinion in a joke" they are pretty smart!!! So JUST SMILE and Shut up the argument Reply | Quote

Anonymous   2007-12-04 06:34:09 Boys and Linux: "Both are poorly documented." ...What? Linux is poorly documented?? Have you not ever tried looking? http://www.kernel.org/doc/ Now you're informed. Reply | Quote

kz - No no, the joke is...   2007-12-04 06:35:16 ...that linux fanboys are probably the least likely to know anything about women. Because they live in caves. Which is why they think linux is good. Reply | Quote

Nik   2007-12-04 08:07:48 Add to Boys list: Both are open-source(Open to all, anyone can use and manipulate them for free) Addition to Girls: Both are proprietary and closed source (You have to pay heavy licensing fees to get them and once you get them you still have to continuously pay for updates and patches) Reply | Quote

dhcdenxjssza   2007-12-04 20:08:19 Not all linux fanboys are sexist, Really makes you sound like you don't know anything about Linux of Girls. (p.s I'm a linux fanboy and feminist) Reply | Quote

ManniMoo - Slight confusion here...   2007-12-05 13:57:58 I think people are confusing Linux fanboys with geeks... I am a linux fanyboy, NOT a geek (I can;t code for a start...). Geeks live in caves with no ocntact with the real world (mum doesn;t count!), Linux fanboys, while many happen to be geeks, aren't NECESSARILY geeks... That said, Love the lists! So true... Now to forward to my g/f Reply | Quote

Now to forward to my g/f You seriously fail, i admit to being a linux geek, but what you just said is nonsense, get your facts straight before starthing to throw those arguments at geeks. Or maybe you are just being jelous, in wich case i fel sorry for you "Linux fanboy" Reply | Quote

franco - I m not agree!   2007-12-05 20:42:43 Maybe, the creator of this web is a little bit chauvanist, but I thin women can do things as men, and sometimes they do better than us Reply | Quote

Women and men are the same. This article is not intended to look "degrading" or whatever. It's just created to show the stereotype things from girls, Windows, boys and Linux. Do you think I'm happy with my "average UI"? C'mon, just take a little joke Reply | Quote

GHOST - its so awesom XD   2007-12-21 22:06:51 "Oh, and if you have a girlfriend, don't compare her with Windows. She'll not like it." well i and my girlfriend dis agree she was like: o okey kool .wy would it be bad if a girl is windows?(not in the way like..windows is bad but telling her that this says she is windows and she thinks its bad) Reply | Quote

Crimius   2008-01-07 14:56:59 Seriously. Anonymous was right, go back to elementary school and learn how to spell, and how to use punctuation properly. Reply | Quote

Lolz   2008-03-27 21:55:02 The people who are offended by this are the ones described in it. Good work finding that, it's spot on. Reply | Quote

Jesper   2008-03-27 21:56:54 Anonymous what would a mac be? koronis A faggot How is that even remotely funny and/or a viable comparison ? I really don't get this. It's very wrong and rude to call black people niggers (I agree on this) - but it's perfectly fine to go gay-bashing? Does it make you feel more masculine to openly demonstrate just how backwards and narrow-minded you are ? It's not a binary division here, you can actually accept that people are different from you without necessarily indulging in the same activities as they do. Reply | Quote

Jordi - I like you guys   2008-12-15 17:23:33 I must say that i really had a laugh about this post. But I;ve laughed even harder at the comments! You guys are so funny Reply | Quote

Oliver - Funny but true?   2009-12-21 12:17:05 Well, first of all great laugh! Especially on a monday much appreciated! Then, I think on some points I can agree whereas on others I think Linux is better documented as you say But it is not for the faint-hearted, so maybe better for women? Either way, it takes something to have a Post with so many comments over time! Real awesome topic... Hey but the most important part you missed: Either Boys&Girls or Linux&Windows work best when they work together Check out our offer on our website. One last thing. Would you mind me linking your post to our website? It would also make a great laugh for our supporters and customers! Reply | Quote
