Re: Seybold Article
Craig:
After reading the first assertion, which I immediately viewed as rather bold & not very objective, I concluded this was typical MSFT hype & not remotely representative of true journalistic reporting & analysis. Reading further on, particularly onto supporting claims 2 thru 5, my reaction of a bold assertion elevated to one of absurdity. Finally, upon finishing this MSFT "wish list," & first recognizing the name Patricia Seybold attached this BS (the Seybold name didn't click for me at first), the whole thing became crystal clear.
I caught her in a CNBC interview several months ago. She is the most biased, non-objective rah! rah! supporter of MSFT I've ever seen among technical journalists -- if that's what one can call her. She is a close friend of Bill Gates; appears to be a nice person, but unabashedly in love with Mr. Softy & his empire. If MSFT controls or influence any people in the press, she is DEFINITELY at the top of the list. Needless to say, her bread & butter rests entirely in promoting MSFT.
As far as the author, he's not very confident in his "wish list," is he? Why else would he spend time on a ORCL thread soliciting counter arguments to these ridiculous crap. He'd rather receive the abuse here than from others in the press. I say, leave it his peers in the press to discredit his claims. |
