Please stop polluting the series of tubes with your post about something that you have no interest none whatsoever. I know you’re posting it because it is what people are interested about. You are only looking for attentions and hoping that your post get indexed by Google and get tons of hits. Yeah, I know. I can sense your AdSense account being prepped. Honestly I don’t want to read your stupid “Why I won’t be getting/buying/using/stealing/abusing ……..” post. Please stop! You’re cluttering the feed and the series of tubes.

You are Paul Thurrott, Mr. Holier Than Thou, the original Microsoft Defender. I don’t understand why Leo Laporte let all of your psycho-babbles slide. You don’t know anything else besides defending Microsoft. Stop pretending that you’re using Mozilla Firefox, Linux, and Mac OS X. You’re buying a MacBook so that you can install Windows on it? If you want a Windows PC, get a Windows PC. You feel the need to disect all statistic but one, Microsoft’s. When will you ever disect Microsoft’s claim on Windows Vista sales the way you disect the statistics for Linux, Macs, iPod, iPhone, condoms, popcorn, twinkies, etc.? Isn’t it obvious, Mr. Microsoft Insider? You’re always bragging about having access to Microsoft’s internal memos. That makes you a Microsoft whipping boy.

Please take a look at your “c”, “v”, and “ctrl” or “command” keys on your keyboard. If they’re a bit worn more than other keys that mean you’ve been a busy plagiarizing slacker. Why bother having opened an account or two or three at WordPress.com, while all you have done is copying and pasting other people’s articles? Sure you’re kinda referencing the source, but that’s all pretty much you’ve done. Once again, please stop! As a bonus, please remove the stupidly annoying avatar you have for your WordPress account. All you’re doing is reposting contents from others without even understanding what you’re copying and pasting into your stupid blog.
