The Snap Feature!

I just want to state for the record that I still hate the snap feature. I've tried it. It is not an acquired taste. It has not grown on me.

So of course I find this hilarious.

Windows 7 was my idea

Let me get this straight, Microsoft stole the ideas from many, many beautiful, young people across America for Windows 7, then made ads to tell the world this and now they want us, the gullible people, to condone this action. Have you no shame, Microsoft?
