This joke is truer than it seems. I quite literally couldn't think of a joke about Windows 8, and then it dawned on me, there's nothing funny about Windows 8. So I made this comic strip, giving the impression that you shouldn't laugh at Windows 8, but instead pity it.

Now I know some people like Windows 8, but please, don't. I'm going to look past the awful tile system (don't fix something if it ain't broke, and the start menu wasn’t broke), and I'm going to look past how slow it is (trust me, it’s nowhere near as fast as Windows 7, it's just fast because you've got a brand new computer). Instead, I'm going to look at the monopoly Microsoft is making for them selves.

You may not know this, but Windows 8 computers have something in them that makes it really hard (nearly impossible) to change the operating system to a different one. Something you may know though, is that the only things that can go on that Tile Metro Thing, are the stuff from the Windows Stores (if they've changed this, I've not heard of it). Now think about this for a moment. If they take out the desktop, Microsoft will pretty much have complete control over anything you can have on your computer. You can say goodbye to anything that goes against Microsoft. Now you may say that Microsoft wouldn't do such a thing. Well, let's not forget the camera thing they recently patented, and the stunts they tried to pull with the Xbox One.
Yeah, Windows 8 isn't just a bad operating system. It's the start of an operating system which will stop you from installing anything Microsoft doesn't approve. And due to people not leaning enough towards Windows 8, they've also made DirectX 11, only compatible with Windows 8 and above. The exact same thing they did with the god-awful Windows Vista, just to get people to switch over. So yeah, all you Windows 8 lovers out there, if what I say does come to pass and I’m no longer able to install DosBox because it’s not Microsoft approved. Then I’m blaming you!

Now the only question that remains is, how much of what I said sounds like a conspiracy theory?
Seriously, how much on the verge of extreme paranoia is everything I just said?

Windows 7 looks better, is faster and isn't overly dumbed down. I'm not gonna switch to 8 or 10 anytime soon, probably not at all.
