It's obvious that the writer is an Apple person but the piece doesn't feel too biased. This makes me a little sad, I was rooting for Microsoft this time.

- mandeepj 14y agoI am still rooting for Microsoft this time. I can see myself using surface as a reading device as well as popping up visual studio and writing code in C# :-)
- modarts 14y agoDoesnt't feel biased? Was I reading the same post?
- berntb 14y agoOk, enough is enough. I have read too much of this. The author made serious points (even the store uniforms(!) are copied, bad animation handling, office apps are slow, etc, etc). Why are the anti-Apple fan boys just complaining that the article is biased -- instead of showing that it is biased by answering the "biased" points?
- corporalagumbo 14y agoThanks, I am also tired of this conflation of valid criticism with "bias."
- modarts 14y agoThe entire tone of his post from the outset seemed like he really had an axe to grind. It was like reading an article Fox News would publish about an Obama rally.
- berntb 14y agoI asked for arguments against the content of the article. You lack that? Edit: The criticism of the Surface is echoed here: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/10/microsoft-surface-rt-review-this-is-technological-heartbreak/ http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/10/microsoft-surface-rt-revie... (I'm not going to bother to read more about non-retina pads/laptops. My eyes are too old and spoiled.)
- modarts 14y agoId have to quote the entire post to give you an example. I just found it to be overly smug and condescending, especially regarding Microsoft store employees (attempting to "trap" one of them with the soundcard question? Nerd arrogance at its finest.) Granted there was a fair amount of valid criticism, but it was mainly the biased tone I was addressing.
- randomchars 14y agoAs a Windows and Android user I feel that it wasn't.
