Scary thing is, all of those are believable. Microsoft is stupid enough to use most of those.

They are photoshopped. My favorite REAL error from Windows is: "An error has occurred".

Those are believable all right. I'm so glad I found Linux. Amazing thing is, I've given up learning how an OS works, as Linux just does! I have not adjusted/pared back anything.

Anyone else make a computer run faster and stop crashing by:

- Turn off Hibernate and delete the file (300mb+);
- Right click Start, Run, services.msc and uncheck Themes, as well as turning off leftover code from Win3x, like Workstation.

Microsoft dedicates an amazing amount of your system's resources to make their OS look good. Unchecking Themes (not to be confused with Add/Remove Programs Themes) makes quite a difference. Note it downgrades the appearance of the OS, this doesn't affect the programs you run on it, including Microsoft ones.

Windoze... I don't miss it.
