Whether you're a Mac OS or Windows user (come on, nobody is actually running Linux), you've probably heard at least one computer-y joke about Windows. Since its initial release 32 years ago, the operating system has had quite a few bugs and Windows updates, all of which caught the users at the worst possible time — completing a homework assignment that's due in an hour? Displaying an ad on a screen on the street? Too bad, the operating system will restart now. Period. And the announcements it makes usually are worth of the best meme title. Phrases like "this won't take long" or "something happened" raise more questions than they provide answers. Not to mention the painstakingly long time it takes to load Internet Explorer properly, and that's especially annoying if you had in mind some quality time for funny memes.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of painfully funny computer memes, highlighting why Bill Gates needs to take a closer look at it. Scroll down to enjoy the entries and upvote your favorites.

    You can just set your active hours during which windows won't auto-restart. They even increased the maximal possible timeframe from 12 hours to 18 hours. Also remember Windows monthly updates come the second tuesday of every month. In Europe it's at 19:00. And with an SSD the updates are often faster than a normal boot from a HDD.

    This looks like Xbox one screen which is a joke! I spent hrs uninstalling updates for my console when it was rand new then it started another update...of the controller?! Why does the controller need to update software? Then I put a game disc in and still couldn't play the damn game because the Xbox wanted to copy the game into the hard drive but there was no option not to do that so I had to wait 20 mins until it would let me start playing. After 15 mins of playing the game said sorry haven't downloaded more than this of the game! *face palm* what?! This had to be a joke right? Nope that's just Xbox one for you. Good grief! Although it was a brand new model that had just released that day so naturally by the time I got it and got it up and running they'd scrambled together a load of updates and patches! -_-
