Where on Gruber's website is his relevance to the subject made clear? EDIT: No, seriously. If someone has no idea who Gruber is and they click through to his site, tell me where on the screen they would see information that answers the implicit question "Who is Gruber and why would him finding out about this problem aid its resolution".

You're right. It's not like the title of his page is "Gruber: Mac Fanboy #1" I retract my snark, or at least a little bit of it.

Duly upvoted! I appreciate your willingness to keep an open mind.

Is this paid for by your employer, Microsoft or are you just doing this for fun? Apologies for the blunt question, but you've often run anti-Google, anti-Apple stories and are well known as a 'kept blogger'.

LOL, seriously? Kept-blogger? That's a new one. My blog stands alone. It's been around 9 years, and years before I started at MSFT and it'll be around years after I quit. As for the Tumblr, I created that at the suggestion of my friend Anil Dash.

You spent 4 years(?) in the developer marketing division of Microsoft (Developer and Platform 'Evangelism') whose goal is to promote the use of your companies products, AKA in normal speak 'Marketing'. I imagine you got the job in part as a successful pro-Microsoft blogger?

So, as someone in Microsoft that works in their Marketing department then I thought that was a fair question to ask (which I notice you didn't answer the question btw).

When are you running your story on 'How Microsoft ripped me off with fraudulent Xbox Charges?' or is that not just as relevant. Perhaps set-up a community tumblr site where we can share stories too?

I appreciate your concern. However, in fact, I have NEVER worked for Developer and Platform Evangelism or anywhere near that division in any capacity. I worked for the Developer Division under ScottGu when I first arrived, then moved to MSDN (the online documentation team) in Server and Tools and have recently moved into the Web Platform team as an architect. I've never been in marketing or sales. My blog is my own and my voice is my own.

One other thing, please feel free to include links to my "often run" anti-Google and anti-Apple posts. Perhaps ones like these guides [0] or [1].

I imagine he'll probably run that story when it actually happens. If reality appears to have a pro-Microsoft bias to you, I think that's your problem, not his.

I have been following Scott for 4 years now. I first saw him when he first became a member of Microsoft. His first talk as a Microsoft employee was at the paterns and practices conference in Washington. He is a honest and stand up guy. He tells it like it is. I have been Using a windows phone for about a 8 months now and moved from an iPhone. I have been asking Scott to switch to a Windows phone for a while now. He has yet to do it. So what I am saying is his story is not made up and is not a ploy to get people to stop using iPhones. @shanselman - We know your real.

Besides following him online, I've eaten Ethiopian w/ him and a bunch of nerds in NYC. Call me a fanboy! I doubt you can find a more stand up, honest, tell it like it is kind of guy. Long live @hanselman whether he is employed at @MSFT or anywhere else.
