Is Windows a virus?
 
No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

They replicate quickly. Okay, Windows does that.

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down
  the system as they do so. Okay, Windows does that.

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk.
  Okay, Windows does that too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user,
  along with valuable programs and systems
  Alright... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect
  their system is too slow and the user will buy new
  hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too
 
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are
  fundamental differences:

Viruses are well supported by their authors, are
  running on most systems, their program code is
  fast, compact and efficient and
  they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature
  So, Windows is _not_ a virus
