You have got to give him credit. He's not stupid (I read his blog I spoke to
him on the WordPress mailing lists a few times), but he's loyal. He's also
blunt and honest.
Microsoft Power Users, Part II

"My guess is that when IE7 goes gold, more people will be driven to start

He was right.

I could find many more, but it could take some time. I am looking at some
previous posts and the above (as well as those included in the OP) are just
a small sample/subset.
