<
abuse,
operating system> /mi:'kroh-sloth" win"dohz/ (Or "Windoze", /win'dohz/) A derogatory term for
Microsoft Windows which is so limited by bug-for-bug compatibility with
mess-dos that it is agonisingly slow on anything less than a fast
486. Also called just "Windoze", with the implication that you can fall asleep waiting for it to do anything; the latter term is extremely common on
Usenet.
Compare
X,
sun-stools.
