    Ah, I knew someone would misread that. What I meant as “a fucking joke” was that it made a mockery of everything I thought I knew about Windows.

      Friend, that which makes a mockery is not the joke, because it creates the joke, which itself likely is not.

      That which is made a mockery is the joke because it was made such by that which makes the mockery.

      A thing or person can make of it/themself, but this doesn’t apply to your case.

      In your case, Windows was made a mockery by Linux, thus Windows is a joke.

      Also if you knew this was going to be misread, you could’ve edited your comment at any time to accurately reflect your meaning.
