Windoze ==>
Microsloth Windows
<abuse, operating system> /mi:'kroh-sloth" win"dohz/ (Or
"Windoze", /win'dohz/) A derogatory term for Microsoft
Windows which is so limited by bug-for-bug compatibility with
mess-dos that it is agonisingly slow on anything less than a
fast 486. Also called just "Windoze", with the implication
that you can fall asleep waiting for it to do anything; the
latter term is extremely common on Usenet.
Compare X, sun-stools.
