These guys must be banned from blogosphere

March 28, 2006 By

Come on, we all know it's not politically correct to like Windows Vista or Internet Explorer! So, as my bedtime treat, these bloggers must be banned. Heheh.

Andre Costa: I am running Windows Vista right now. How would I best describe it? Awesome! Dude, you are so banned now! No one will ever believe another thing you'll say! You'll never get a good mod rating on Slashdot if you keep talking that way.

Dave Shea: (He used to bash IE): It's likely that any praise of Internet Explorer will still be controversial for now, but it's well-earned. Hear me out. Um, no, you're banned from blogging forever! We can not put up with any IE love here! You were right to go with your gut. Controversial is right!

Jim Holmes: More Great Openness at Microsoft (talking about IE team's opening up of its bug database). Hey, Jim, we can't have any talk about Microsoft opening up, OK? Keep it to yourself or a hoard of Slashdotters might visit you and taunt you.

Chrono Tron was #1 on WordPress.com yesterday, but just made a big mistake by posting Advantages of Vista and IE 7. But, he saved himself by saying the delay sucks. Oh, OK, you get a pass Chrono! Saved by using the word "sucks" within a post about Vista and IE 7.

For everyone else, let's not have any more of this kind of talk. If you do, Shelley Powers might link to you and believe me, you don't want her to do that! :-)

    In all seriousness, might it be that you have people talking about Vista before it’s available that is the problem? If you don’t want FUD, don’t set it in motion.

    The title is misleading.

    You should be fired and fire anyone around you, too :D
    Oh! I’m anonymous, I fired myself, too.

    Hmm….Robert Scoble linking outside, definitely quite a treat I must admit. While Vista and IE7 both have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages, I must admit, the blogopshere has been highly unjust towards Vista and IE7 and to a certain extent yourself Mr.Robert Scoble.

    While somtimes, your snobbishness got it for you, sometimes your acting as an excessive PR guy did. As for the rest, MS is going through a bad patch now (and so will be google soon), and it might take a near miracle to catch back the eyes of the net.

    If you had read the last part in my article, you might perhaps see that onlineoffline part as the “M”.

    Finally, most of the blogosphere has been to cruel to Vista in particular (IE perhaps there has not been nothing new except it’s got most of Opera’s & Fx’s features++). Most of them have been influenced by the anti-vista reviews on Digg & Slashdot and I can swear many have not even tried Vista out. Shame, cause one blog post is all it takes to influence people though as a blogger this makes me happy.

    To end this useless rant, I’d like to say one thing. Be glad if you could convey this to the Vista team or Allchin or Uncle Bill or whomever so. The thing that users really want to see is innovation. We want to see something that’s never been seen before, the reason we switched over to 95 or 3.1. We want a true operating system!!

    I have noticed a change in tone here lately, in your posts and in your comments. It is extremely difficult not no respond emotionally at times, and then hit the publish button too quickly.

    But then the beat goes on, as this post title fans the flame.

    I think a straight post with links highlighting the detailed experiences of current users of Vista and IE7 would have been more useful.

    Wow, this post is absolutely ridiculous.

    Microsoft as a company has made a lot of headway with people were formerly very anti-microsoft, myself included, but this post seems specifically aimed to stop that.

    How about embracing the support of the web standards community?

    But then again, you’re the genius that made a post supporting ugly design and then promptly became a judge for a CSS design contest.
