Yet another reason to hate that "news" network:

I'd say, looking at the rest of the items, that this is a completely fair and unbiased article. I mean look at what they hit: The MacBook Air (Apple), BlackBerry, Linux, iPod Accessories (Apple again), Bluetooth Cellphone, TiVO (Linux again), and the Segueway. Not once was there a single MS or MS related product. I wonder why that is? Here is my list:
  • Zune - Unpredictable wannabe
  • Microsoft Moble Phones - Crashy mc Crash
  • Netbooks running Windows XP - Slow, Outdated, Bogged down
  • Windows Vista - utter Failure all around
Flame away

The beard comment was uncalled for though. There a lot of clean shaved, short haired linux admins and users. Somewhere?

Oh this article was an old one. I just took it as more tripe from the MS-owned network. Fun to go through just for craps an giggles, I guess, but nothing more.
