That comment should have stayed where you found it. It might be appropriate in that community, but it's just content-free noise here.

voting is how you state your preference, I don't think we need self-appointed policing as replies. Noise indeed, how ironic.

Commentary is all opinion. I shared mine on the comment, as well as voting it down and flagging it. The problem is that it's a cheap Microsoft shot and there are a lot of people that will upvote that, even though it has no place here. I've watched it waffle back and forth between gray and black since leaving my remark. Now it's beating an actually informative comment that I upvoted, so its traction concerns me; therefore, I said something.

I mean, what discussion potential is there from reprinting a CNET comment that is basically just sniping at Microsoft? "Ha ha, Microsoft is so terrible." The OP didn't even add anything to the comment, just a laugh. There is absolutely no value to the comment or any discussion that could come from it.

You're sharing your opinion, but it's also self-appointed speaking for the community if you read your comment carefully. You're doing the exact same thing I am, but giving me grief for it. I only had to go to page 3 of your comment history to find you doing the exact same thing to somebody else[1].

We're all friends here, no need to be snide.

"In other news---A Microsoft store was broken into and several thousand dollars worth of merchandise was reported to have been returned." Ha ha ha.

There should be a name for this strange ultra-capitalist subjectivity, perhaps iI ? The first, little, i masquerades as a self, but is actually a corporate identity.

It's just a joke. Actually many people have called Microsoft Windows mobile a big step ahead, even easier to use than Android and iPhone (Those people include Wozniak.) THeir stores, while certainly inspired by Apple stores, are far enough that they don't get sued (http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/04/apple_takes_aim_at...) and their products are actually improving since 2001.

We will see if they can come back from behind http://blogs.computerworld.com/windows/21472/microsoft-has-o...

I hope Ubuntu sells more than Windows RT mobile.

Even if they don't have any actual product now, I hope they sell well at launch.
