Once I stopped laughing my head off, it struck me that this defines the main difference between Win32 and *nix.

With Windows, users are encouraged to dial an expensive, and usually unhelpful Helpline number, only to be asked a zillion, irrelevant questions--like the doctor that always asks you if you opened your bowels lately, even when you're there for a sprained ankle or sore throat--in order to receive a technically correct, but useless answer.

With *nix, you only need type "man somecommand" to receive the same!
