'Doze is a
disparaging term used amongst
computer cognoscenti to refer to the
Microsoft Windows operating system.
People who refer to 'Doze probably have little or no respect for this particularly troublesome example of an OS, and are likely to be users or sysadmins of other OSes that were contemporaries of Windows in the late 20th Century, such as Linux, UNIX, BSD, Mac OS, or Post-it Notes.
