Microsft IE6 smart tags

Actually, the reason I want net worth is to find things out about other companies. I sometimes post stuff that would be much more interesting if I could add small tidbits like, 'X could buy Y for pocket change'.

No, TMax, the one person looking foolish is you. Ayende is advocating Windows, and he has reasons to do it. You may find those reasons invalid, but he does it in a quite pleasant way, very different from Chad Myers and Jon Johanson. He actually knows what he is talking about. You, on the other hand, tell us all how vastly superior linux is compared to the stuff MS sells. Yet you do not use linux, you use windows. Seems to be a little contradiction, doesn´t it?

You misspelled Microsoft <grin>

With content added, deleted, and modified per Microsoft's marketing agenda. Making it something less than the impartial reference source it used to be. Anything to do with computers is suspect, as well as historical events which are regionally tailored for maximum marketing appeal to local consumers.

Pleasant or not pleasant (from your point of view) doesn't invalidate things Chad or I may say. I don't think I'm unpleasant but I realize that I am saying things that people who hate MS and it's products won't like to hear. And sometimes I put linux down too and that would be unpleasant to those that love it. But, again, that doesn't invalidate the facts.

I take offense at that however, I do know what I'm talking about - you may just not like what you hear...

So why not fling your 'unpleasant' comments at him then? At least we use the products we advocate religiously.

Untrue - prove your claim!
