Microsoft Bashing

Dvorak whines about tech media bias

Yesterday, John Dvorak whines about a tech reporting media bias:

As big and as important as Microsoft is, the coverage of the company is quite mediocre. This is particularly true in the mainstream press. The reason for this is that today's newspaper and magazine tech writers know little about computers and are all Mac users. It's a fact.

Tech reporters are waking up and finding a laptop that works better, lasts longer and isn't bogged down with viruses and spyware. The sad fact is that you haven't discovered this yet and that you're still using crappy Windows PCs. Oh! I forgot you've been sucking at M$ corporate teat for a decades now and you're not allowed to talk shit about M$ and its allies. Poor you! I hope you can drown your pathetic sorrows in all the money M$ you've earned from being M$'s mouthpiece for so long.

This is why when Microsoft actually does have a good idea, people look to trash it out of hand.

M$ doesn't have original ideas - they buy them elsewhere. Short of M$ Bob, I've not heard of a single original idea come out of M$. Period.

Every time Steve Jobs sneezes there is a collective chorus of "Gesundheit" from tech writers pounding away on their Macs.

Yes, that is because people care about companies that actually innovate! Apple is on the forefront of innovation after the whole computing field lay fallow during the dreaded M$ years. I'm glad that the world is slowly climbing out of its collective rut and moving on to bigger and better things. Thanks for stifling the entire industry for a decade M$! And thanks to Dvorak for being there to cheer M$ on.
