Microsoft haters gotta hate I guess. If you even just skimmed the article, you'd realize this was quite balanced and critical that pointed out the good, bad, and ugly. But let's just resort to name calling instead of actual facts.
That's funny. Did you miss the part of the article where I write that Windows is "technically terrible" and that its "UX is erratic"? If Microsoft pays people to say things like these, they're doing something wrong.
I have a thought, though: if your world view only works if everybody who says anything positive about Microsoft is a shill, then perhaps it's not the "Microsoft shills" who are the problem.
Microsoft shills are truly the worst shills.
