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.
