What I really think is sad...there are plenty of good people working at Microsoft who care about putting out a good product that will serve the customer well.

Too bad the executive level at so many companies can be crummy and wreck it all for the rest.

I don't think anyone will ever accuse me of being a Micro$oft apologist - I'm a user but not a fan or adherent.

That being said, the article in question (besides needing a proofreader) struck me as typical of the Apple fanaticism that is second only to Linux fanaticism in its ability to irritate.

Isn't Apple the epitome of the secretive corporate entity that tells folks what it wants to tell, and only when it decides to?

Knock it off, both of you. We're not going to have an OS war here.
