It is always refreshing when companies send the zealots on their dev teams to
the back of the room, and allow the business-minded execs to do what they are
paid to do: provide solutions that benefit the company instead of some yob’s
religious zealotry.

Here's the news:
"While looking for information about our Friend Andre, I stumbled upon some
that Roy might like. Roy wanted a list of those who got free laptops from
PDC2008. While I could not find that list, or even the atendees list, and did
come across one name, while searching for something else. John Obeto so
thats one name that can be added to the list.

The relevant part: "While I don’t believe Microsoft would foist ‘ringer’
laptops on us, I had decided even before getting the laptop, to test Windows 7
against the systems I use for my daily bread."
Most likely another clue to who recieved a lot of these freebies came from a
post I used of Andre himself, MVP's. I forget the name of the guy who runs
activewin where andre posts a lot, but he is an MVP, and most likely got one
as well.
[...]
"LOL, go right ahead. You never going get much truth or response out of Andre.
For that matter even Joe.
MS Watch is not about fair play, or evaluating software products fairly and
evenly. Its about advertising bucks, and that pays the bills including Joe's
salary. Now Joe does both Apple and MS watch, but you know he does more, and
most likely blogs as someone else too. I say this as he has the time to do
so. Joe will never, and has not that I remember, ever compared or mentioned
OpenOffice while talking about MS Office. And this I
have pointed out as have others, still Joe never responds. Why? Because there
is no money in it for eweek, in the advertising.
Don't expect Andre to go for long debates with you, Andre and I already had
those about a year ago. He knows now he cannot win. So expect more of just
hit and run from him. Everyone jumps on him because we know he is a phony.
If people attack him for the FUD things he says, its because some of us
remember the old Andre, that was quick to insult, belittle, and plain lie.
Moron and idiot were two of Andre's favorite words if I
remember correctly. Even Marco got on the receiving end a few times. But you
go ahead, and have your fun with our Friend, Andre. Andre is not dumb, not do
I truely believe that he is a zealot. Its about the money with Andre, sorry
to say."
