note that the ARS author is their "Microsoft Contributor". Read into that what you will...

ARS used to be a good site... it's gone downhill drastically in the last couple of years. With Jon Stokes leaving, I don't have much remaining hope for them (or reason to read them).

That just means the person they have assigned to report on Microsoft.

Peter B and Chris F were essentially promoted from being very noisy platform zealots in the Ars forums to full-time writers. Which is great for them, but it pretty much means that the Ars coverage on a lot of these topics is, well, platform zealotry.

Exactly my feeling. When it comes to Apple or Microsoft there's very little critical thinking going on at Ars, nowadays. Compare with Ryan Paul's articles, instead.
