I must say that I do enjoy reading this site, but every now and then you guys post stuff like this. =/

I'm sorry but I don't drink the Microsoft kool-aid. I love my PocketPC (and all my Palms before it), but I'm a proud Mac user (just switched, never going back) and if it wasn't for Palm, MS wouldn't even be in the handheld market. That doesn't mean they haven't made some good choices after copying Palm, but come on, lay off the MS hype. Both companies have gotten some things right, and some things wrong. It is only wise to acknowledge both, IMHO.

Where's the headline "MS Copied Palm Way back in the 90's Because PALM Made a Cool Device and Then MS Proceeded To Take Over Because They Are A Resource Laden Behemoth Who Crushes Any Competition With Monopolistic Practices"? [Insert shot of Bill with Palm device in hand here] After all, with all MS's money and power it is shocking Palm still even exists. As a consumer I would think you would want to be supporting all major PDA developers. Tell me this: Do you want a world where there is one choice? Because that is what MS wants. I sure don't.
