If that's the case, why are so many tech bloggers treating this as though it's the "OS that will defeat the iPad"? If everyone thought as you do, then they would realize that comparing this to a shipped product which has already been evaluated by the public is a pretty poor comparison, and Gruber's argument stands pretty strong.
- varunsrin 15y agoFair point, Thurrott calling this the iPad killer is pre-emptive, and Gruber is right in that respect. I was railing on Gruber's snide remark about "ship something real", where he is subtly making the point that shipping when a product is final is the right way to do things. EDIT: Typos
- tychobrahe 15y agoC'mon let's be fair here... What Gruber said was that "the right way to do things" depends on whether the person is writing for Apple or for Microsoft, and he (as punctuated by the "To me") doesn't feel like MS's way is the right way. The whole article was about how different expectations are, and the process... oh, and, ironically, both user bases are equally passionate.
- magicalist 15y ago> If that's the case, why are so many tech bloggers treating this as though it's the "OS that will defeat the iPad"? Seriously? Because tech bloggers are morons that want to sensationalize their story but can't seem to come up with a new way to do it. You might as well ask why every vaguely scandalous political story is labeled "something-gate." Spoiler: it's probably not because the comparison to watergate is in any way interesting.

- scorpion032 15y agoHe is not talking about moron bloggers. Paul Thrott and BGR. Gruber said "He is not alone" as well.
