Today I officially announce the creation of the “Windows Start Button Withdrawal Support Group” or WSBWSG. The WSBWSG will be charged with emotional and psychological support for those users who cannot bear the removal of the “Start” from the windows “Start Menu” in the upcoming release of Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, many users will go undiagnosed with this disease, as is already seen by many of the beta testers. Not only are many users undiagnosed with this, the social consequences of this change may be far reaching (possibly more than anyone could ever imagine).
Over a decade ago, Microsoft introduced the “Start something” concept with the release of the Microsoft Windows 95. The button was initially released as a slick attempt at making user interfaces more friendly by making such ideas as “Start, Programs, Accessories, Notepad” an easy concept for new users. Unfortunately this had an unexpected side-affect of the “Start something to stop something” concept where users had to “Start” in order to run “Shutdown” to turn off the computer. This resulted then in social conditioning of an entire generation of new computer users, which subconsciously turned into the application of the “Start Something” and “Start Something to Stop Something” concepts into every day life. Currently popular belief is that even today’s fight club videos being taped by afflicted teens may be a result of the “Start Something to Stop Something” thought process.

This is the exact reason that I have created the WSBWSG, as the release of Windows Vista could cause many users extreme stress, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. If you are a Windows Vista user, or are thinking about using Windows Vista, and have any feelings just described, immediately discontinue use of Windows Vista by installing Linux, and then contact us at http://[email protected].
Disclaimer: This is a fictitious group that, if contacted, will do nothing more than laugh maniacally at you, and then point out the fact that you really need to learn how to do new things…
