I’ve told you so, no one should ever believe Paul Thurrott; The Original Microsoft Cheerleader.

Thanks to Chris Grande for exposing what Paul Thurrott really is; a Microsoft Cheerleader. Thanks to John Gruber for pointing out John Grande’s post.

From Daring Fireball:

Paul Thurrott’s Curiously Shifting Thoughts on Copy-and-Paste.

Delightful catch by Chris Grande.

You should read what Chris Grande wrote.

I for one have been noticing what a shill Paul Thurrott is. I even called him out on Leo Laporte’s TWiT network. It is funny how Leo Laporte is defending Paul Thurrott even though outside the Abomination of a show called “Windows Weekly” that should have been called “Microsoft P.R. Weekly” Laporte often expressed his disagreement with Thurrott. I theorize that Leo Laporte is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. You’ll never know which Leo Laporte would show up. There are a lot of real Tech Journalists can host “Windows Weekly” but Leo Laporte still insists that Paul Thurrott is fair and balanced. Yeah, just like Fox News.

A lot of time Thurrot does make valid points, only to have his credibility destroyed by his adoration with Microsoft. I don’t know if it’s a pure adoration or it’s financially motivated. I don’t know. This I know that Thurrott has the double standard whenever it comes to Microsoft and other companies.

Message to Leo Laporte, get someone who is not financially motivated by Microsoft to host Windows Weekly.

There I said it.

Rush Limbaugh of Technology Award Goes To: Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley.

Congratulations to Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. Well, Randall C. Kennedy you got one too. Too bad you are a disgrace to everyone with name Kennedy. As a matter of fact I believe that Jamie Kennedy is a smarter Tech Journalist than you, Randall. Wait a minute, Jamie Kennedy is not even a Tech Journalist, yet he’s still smarter than you. Not that funny but definitely smarter than you.

Anyway, once again congratulations to Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott, Mary Jo Foley and Randall C. Kennedy to win “Rush Limbaugh of Technology” Award. Calling you guys Tech Journalists are a stretch.

Note to Leo Laporte. We know that you’ve realized that you’ve made a huge mistake asking Paul Thurrott to be a part in your precious TWiT Network. Thurrott is like the curse, just like the stray. You feed him once and now he stays. (Yeah, there’s a Metallica reference)

Dump that Microsoft P.R. Weekly (disguised as Windows Weekly) podcast of yours Mr. Laporte. Get real Tech Journalists to host the show instead of the shameless hack that Thurrott is.

This angry rant is brought to you commercial and hyperlink free by common sense.

Paul Thurrott Was Hospitalized After Watching New Apple Ads

Dedham, Masschusetts

On the evening of October 19th, 2008 Paul Thurrott was reportedly rushed to the local hospital. According to neighbors, loud strings of profanities were heard over 15 mile radius that Sunday evening. That prompted them to call 911. Paramedic, Firefighter and the Police arrived within a few minutes on the Thurrotts residence .

Upon arrival, Police found Thurrott screaming and yelling “I’m a P.C.!” repeatedly. It took 13 personnel to subdue violent Paul Thurrott.

In his padded cell, Thurrott mentioned that he will announce the “ultimate declaration of war against Apple” on Microsoft behalf on TWiT‘s Microsoft P.R. Weekly Windows Weekly podcast which he co-hosts with Leo Laporte.

Paul Thurrott, the original Microsoft Defender, apparently was watching the new Apple “Get A Mac” ads which were released on that fateful Sunday. According to doctors, Thurrott is lacking sense of humor as well as some common sense. Doctors also found that Thurrot is suffering from some sort of blindness, that causes him to be unconditionally loyal to Microsoft.

According to Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott insisted that he would be available to record the next install ment of Viva La Microsoft Wekly Windows Weekly episode 80 this Thursday. Thurrott is expected to make a full recovery by then, and he will be cursing Apple for those new “Get A Mac” ads. Thurrott swears that he will bring Apple down for “all the lies” they have been spreading about Microsoft and Windows Vista. Thurrott also adds that he is the only tech journalist in the world who knows the truth about the great Microsoft.

Paul Thurrott Spews Garbage Again

As expected, Paul Thurrott the original Microsoft Defender spews garbage again on Microsoft P.R. Weekly a.k.a. Windows Weekly podcast episode 70 (yeah, it is podcast not necast, Leo Laporte).

Thurrott defends Microsoft’s pathetic attempt at damage control known as “Mojave Experiment.”

It seems that Leo Laporte is feeding Thurrott’s ego with some compromises about the propaganda. Thurrott is quick to dismiss all the problems with Microsoft’s “Mojave Experiment” propaganda. According to Mr. Microsoft Defender, “Mojave Experiment” is so effective in making people talking about Windows Vista again. Yeah, people are now talking about how stupid this “Mojave Experiment” propaganda is. Even John C. Dvorak, tech pundit/troll extraordinaire calls “Mojave Experiments” makes Microsoft humiliates ignorant users and itself.

In addition to the “Mojave Experiment” garbage, Thurrott subconsciously acknowledges that Microsoft has only been selling Windows Vista Licenses and not installed on computers. Of course Thurrott eludes to elaborate more regarding the sales numbers (Microsoft P.R./Windows Weekly 70 18:00 mark). Thurrott in the past has been quick to “disect” any statistics regarding non-Microsoft products such as Mozilla Firefox, the iPod and iPhone, Linux, Macs, Nintendo Wii, and Playstation 3.

Thurrott is so excited with Microsoft effort to strike back against Apple “Get A Mac” ads. Then again, Thurrott was so excited about the original Zune.

Paul Thurrott is nothing more than Microsoft P.R. in a Tech Journalist skin.
