The Matrix runs Windows
Humor 05/27/2003 |I can’t believe that nobody has done a “Which OS does the Matrix run on?”. It’s obviously Windows though. The following points are quite telling:
Also the original movie had many windows crashing, a clearly meaningful, if not subliminal, message about the Matrix origin.
- Glitches occur in the Matrix whenever you change something.
- It is easy to hack into the Matrix.
- DRM software built-in tries to rid you of Morpheus.
- Microsoft created the Agent software (http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/default.asp).
- The User Interface is like having a giant metal spike shoved into the back of your head.
