You're a complete moron! Y is *far* better than Z, and always will be!
X is a complete waste of time -- Not even worth considering.
I'm running Y on a 300MHz 80486 with 5Gb of RAM and 15Tb of disk. Y
consumes much less disk space and memory than either Z *or* X, it's
compatible with every piece of software ever written for any architecture,
and its networking code is perfect. No, really!
You're an idiot. Everyone knows Y is nothing but spaghetti code. The
internal structure is such a mess it's in danger of strangling itself.
X is much more pure. It's elegantly designed, and properly
modularized. Sure, it doesn't do every little thing Y or Z do, but
who needs those bogus bells and whistles when they're all broken
anyway??
Not only that, but Y's developers are all child molesters and rapists!
If you run pattern analysis on Y's code, you'll find Satanic chants
carefully encrypted in the patterns. What's more, Y is being
considered as the official OS of choice for terrorist organizations
worldwide. You suck and your OS blows!
X forever!
