Maybe we can all move to open-source platforms, so that we can fill the Blogosphere (tm) with self-righteous bullshit about Ubuntu before being swept up by the next commercial trend. Gee, it took a shiny user interface and a meticulously-engineered corporate image to sucker in that last batch, how low can be set the bar this time?
I hate humanity.
Oh, on a second reading I guess it's the people getting suckered in without learning that makes you feel that way… Like this classic xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/743/
I would say this: Cheer up! The vocal minority of shiny-chasing blogoshpere complainers is not representative of humanity in any way! Most people are quite happy with their iPhones and Steve Jobs knows it.
It wasn't that particular comment I was referring to. But thanks for being patronizing!
I hope nobody realizes this, since they're quite different. MS's primary market is OEMs and businesses, and they care about selling to them.

Would you prefer it if shiny interfaces actively drove people away?
