Microsloth Windows


/mi:'kroh-sloth` win'dohz/ n. Hackerism for `Microsoft Windows', a windowing system for the IBM-PC which is so limited by bug-for-bug compatibility with mess-dos that it is agonizingly slow on anything less than a fast 486. Also just called `Windoze', with the implication that you can fall asleepm waiting for it to do anything; the latter term is extremely common on USENET. Compare X, sun-stools.
