Why does a quality media outlet like the Guardian continue to publish
this utter sleaze by Microsoft Jack?
He lashes out at a community that dissents against Microsoft for many
valid and justifiable reasons, both technical and political, and then
claims hypocrisy, seemingly without the ability to understand - or even
acknowledge - the nature of that dissent, presumably because he's either
lying or lacks the intelligence to see past Microsoft propaganda.

He's the Bill O'Reilly of IT journalism.
