Professional, or paying due respect?

"Notice that there wasn't a single negative word uttered about Apple in any of
Ballmer's replies?"

Why would he? Apple is going gangbuster, MS has flatlined for years. Apple
releasing innovated products, MS spending ten times the R&D and producing
nothing but poor copies (Zune;-). Apple entering new markets with massively
positive reaction, MS's only press comes from Halo, sources they pump huge ad
revenue into (e.g. ZDNet), coverage of their latest antitrust settlement or when
they're threatening potential competitors.

"He even gives Apple credit where he feels credit is due."

And much credit is due, without Apple MS wouldn't anything.

"Contrast that with a Jobs' interview where he can't go 2 sentences without
slamming MS and you see who has a healthy view of the competition and who has
a sickness that requires serious psychotherapy to resolve."

Jobs compliant is MS produces rubbish, he's right.

"Hmm, is it any wonder then that all the Mac zealots model themselves off their
religious leader and just can't help but post meaningless drivel any time Vista is
mentioned? "

Clearly different from the insightful MS fanboy posts;-)

Still reading Monkeyboys articles I wonder how anyone can get so much coverage
saying so little - actually nothing. All you get is gonna.
