/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.
