All hardware sucks, all software sucks.: prov.

[from scary devil monastery] A general recognition of the fallibility of any computer system, ritually intoned as an attempt to quell incipient holy wars. It is a common response to any sort of bigot. When discussing Wintel systems, however, it is often snidely appended with, `but some suck more than others.'
