- hga 13y agoThat's somewhat qualified: "Last fall SemiAccurate was one of the few voices criticizing Windows 8, WART, and Surface. The mainstream press seemed too welded to the MS advertising revenue stream to dare even hint that the emperor has no clothes...."
- JohnTHaller 13y agoSomeone says that, you can basically stop reading.
- kabdib 13y agoThe anti-Microsoft articles on SA are pretty over the top. There's a grain -- often more than a grain -- of truth, but to lump MS in the same category as Sun, or one of any number of failed large companies, is premature. They've got trouble. I don't know if getting rid of Ballmer would solve anything (it might be necessary to start a long road to reform). I can trace back a /lot/ of MS's bad decisions to the way they review and compensate people, and Ballmer seems dead set on keeping the current review system intact, which is a shame.
- gillianseed 13y agoWell it was part of a longer sentence including Surface and WART (windows on RT) which you chose to omit.
- JohnTHaller 13y agoEven with the full sentence, it's no less eyebrow-raising. Everyone I know was criticizing all 3.
