Why do prisons use Windows?

Because it always locks up.

I heard a joke once: Man turns on computer. Goes to edit settings. Needs a patch to fix a system deficiency. Can't find any other solution. Windows says, "The fix is simple. Only a system administrator can make these changes. Go call one. That should take care of it." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But Windows... I am the system administrator." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Upgrade to enterprise for $199.99. Curtains.

It used to be in linux su would give some scary error message when you put in your password wrong that would say something like "this incident will be reported".

Reported to whom? I'm the only one using this computer and I'm the one that installed the OS....

I'm amused that Watchmen is described as "original reference" here.
