Zealotry and fans of those other OS(rant)
I generally like to read windows-oriented websites to keep myself in touch with what's going on in the computer world. I mainly try to keep up with development-related news. This helps me ensure that I'm not using an inferior tool for a job. codeproject and activewin.com are interesting websites. One is filled with lots of smart people posting about windows-related programming and the other is filled with people who defend microsoft like their firstborn child(and occasional announcements of interesting ms stuff).
OS/vendor biggots really drive me nutts. They are (probably clueless) non-productive people who make too much noise. osnews.com has become unreadable due to ease-of-use/snappiness comments. Anyways, I decided to rant because I wanted to see some interesting development blogging about longhorn(akin to monologue). Instead I had to wade through lots of apologetic crap and open source insults at longhornblogs. I'm so mad at how unproffesional people can be sometimes.
