@gfryesc1 you are a total effing troll. Its one thing to complain/post when Paul groans on about Apple stuff, or the Wii at the Winsupersite, especially when its nothing but angry bias. I get that and appreciate those posts. However news about Exchange 2010, just plain factual news, at the Winsupersite is what I would fully expect from this site, and WANT. There should be some kind of IQ test before you can post comments, because you would be banned.

@Ocean, lol. So I could comeback as "Ocean's mama" 5 min later. Paul exercises very little control over this blog. The blog software is a joke, no edit, not block specific users etc. I just like plain Windows news, with out the bias. At least your first post in this blog post was kind of on topic.

I think it's impossible to give news without a bias. First off, all of us see the world through differing preconceptions, which turn into biases one way or another. It's impossible to be completely indepentant on any subject, even straight forward subjects. Of course Paul is going to be partial to Windows products on the SuperSite. I'm partial to Windows products also, does that make me a "shill"? No. Why? because I am not paid by Microsoft to promote products, it's my guess that Paul isn't either. To be honest, I like differing opinions on subjects. A person should not go to only one source for information, and if they do they should understand that they are probably not getting the full story. Either way, it doesn't matter in the end. So what if Apple groans about Apple stuff, it doesn't (or rather shouldn't) make your day any worse or life more complicated. Time to lighten up. Oh, I supposed I should have prefeced this post with an OT. That makes off topic posts valid, right?

>>To be honest, I like differing opinions on subjects.

That makes off topic posts valid, right?<< Nah. As I've said all along, these threads have their own life. The only time people really make hay about OT posts is when they feel they're going to lose an argument.
