I like that analogy, but I'd suggest a more appropriate twist.  
Developing an app on windows, and then wanting to yell at someone when 
it doesn't work right, is probably more akin to beating your head 
against the inside of your coffin, after you're 6 feet under - It hurts, 
you can't be heard screaming, and you're pretty much doomed.  But then 
again, by writing that windows app, you were digging your own grave, so 
it's hard to say you shouldn't have seen it coming...
