1. Comment - Microsoft damage control after marketer claims Win7 inspired by Mac

   Keep suckling on that Jobs Coolaid, I7. At least someone at MS had the -class- to give props to the competition, something the Jobs camp doesn't have the character to do.

   Scott, we could deal with this issue if we were on a PvP server :D

3. Comment - Our love/hate relationship with Microsoft: What happens now?

   (Oct 30, 2009 - 11:28 AM)

   These are tools, not relationships. If people choose to form a cult around what truck they drive, that's their choice, but it should more of a study on the quirks of humanity.
   On the other hand, we DO have so much invested in these operating systems. Anyone want to do a study to measure the overall investment/weight in them? I figure it would include:
   1. The cost of the last 10 years worth of all software that was developed for the OS.
   2. The profit from such.
   3. The investment into the OS by all users, and the profit from using that OS.
   4. The investment and profit made by the company (MS, Apple, etc) for the OS itself.
   
   These numbers would be MASSIVE. This is why we feel such a profound investment in the OS we choose, and why it's so hard for a company (and even individuals) to make the switch.
   
   As long as Unix/Linux, Windows, and OS X pretty much do what we need to do...for any other new OS to jump in be successful, it would have to be astronomically better. Think World of Warcraft, when it exploded forth in a somewhat stagnant and dull market. Think of all the stillborn MMO's that have come out since!
   
   Also, we should give credit where credit is due, something I often see these writers and people on this board are not willing to do. The fact is, Windows is satisfying to many, many people, as is OS X and Unix/Linux.

4. Comment - Windows 7: Don't upgrade, says FSF, your civil rights are in jeopardy

   BluesNews. If you just glance at it, it's a good bit of gaming news, but it has industry news, rumors, and lots of hardware/software reviews and previews. Blue just posts what he collects all over, and doesn't seem to discrminate or show bias.

   I'm removing betanews from my tech reading list. I have no problem with factual news, or even opinion pieces. But I want at least some balance and objectivity, something BN has pretty much lost.
   Odd that at least one other site I read daily posts "negative" news articles about companies and OS's other than MS and Windows. And yet...very rarely does anything of that sort make it here. If you too want to jump on the MS HATERZ bandwagon, this is the place.
