I consider radical Penguinistas the balance for paid Microsoft shills -- be they reporters, "benchmark" agencies, or forum dwellers.

Microsofts games are extremely transparent. It doesn't take shrill voices and outrage to counter them. Heck, a reasonably bright and mature twelve year old would likely have little trouble seeing through the Microsoft smoke screen.

A community of people who are willing to keep reporters honest -- loudly and in public -- is a service to truth, justice and the American way, even if they could stand a few lessons in grammar, capitalization and politesse.

Since most people that purchase those products are > 12, either there is a problem in the logic or the implication is that the purchasers aren't as bright and mature as a twelve year old. Either way reality seems to be missing.
Yankee Group slams 'Linux extremists' (ZDNet) Posted Apr 8, 2005 9:56 UTC (Fri) by gvy (guest, #11981) [Link] Y'know, but at least I remember myself far more bright at 16 than now at three weeks to 26...
Children in reality *are* who won't lie for money. When they will, they're not children anymore -- they're "socialized".
Oh well, it's offtopic anyways but somewhat connected to whom would honestly benefit what, no?

They truly do work that, in many ways, we should thank them for. So much discussion could never have happened without them.
