- I haven't read the April-whatever column, 'cuz I know better than to
- trust anything I read in PC Magazine. If you're interested in computers,
- then you should probably stop reading PC Magazine (especially Dvorak!)
- right now. For many years now, they have given a very distorted view of
- the industry. This is the magazine that gave Windoze 95 their "technical
- excellence" award last year.
-
- Regardless of how much you like/disklike Windoze 95, nobody, I mean NOBODY
- (not even Microsoft!), would seriously describe it as being as "technically
- excellent" as Windoze NT. And if you decide that MS's opinion doesn't
- count, then OS/2 is clearly superior from the technical viewpoint (remember,
- we're talking about products' TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE here, not market
- viability or 3rd party support). And if you pull back a little more, other
- personal computer OSs start to enter the picture, like Linux or MacOS. Why
- would PC Magazine choose Windoze 95 as the winner for technical excellence
- (something that even MS would not openly dare to do)? I think it says a lot
- about PC Magazine's integrity and legitimacy.
-
- PC Mag is not a news magazine. Their mission is not to cover the personal
- computer industry. They are paid publicists. Pure propaganda. PC.
- They're either incredibly stupid and narrow minded, or they are corrupt
- to the core. Either way, they are totally worthless source of information
- to anyone who is interested in computers -- PCs or otherwise.
