  He was pretty enthusiastic about the Surface RT. I've always seen his reactions to Apple products as being dispassionate and bored. He doesn't seem easily impressed by anything, and yet he's always accused of being a rabid Apple fanboy.

    When Steve Jobs referred to him as a "good friend" and blew a lid internally when Mossberg wasn't "writing good things" about MobileMe, you can see where the perception comes from.

      Perhaps unfairly. It showed a willingness to be critical regardless of relationships. I've never understood why instances like this are considered exceptions proving a rule.
