http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~GoogleBandWagon~WikiYour continued support of all things Microsoft is ... profound. I would honestly place it alongside this quote from the article:
"Microsoft has reached an Orwellian impasse, in which it cannot tell the truth — even to itself. It is blinded by its own hallucinations about how the market is operating. The result is that its public pronouncements entirely lack credibility."
The "IE is glee," "Win8 is great" and "Azure makes me purr" type sentiments ... I just don't see the foundation in holding attitudes along the line of such things. :-(
