Okay, I was looking through your site, as to the fact that it seems to be a well-known Windows site.
Now, I myself use Linux and Windows XP, I dualboot it with the XP look. Now, after looking at some of your reviews, I noticed something: All Microsoft brand items where getting five stars, or at least four, whereas anything else was getting very, very low ratings. Now, I noticed that the Google Pack got a 1 star rating. I thought that was total and utter bullshit. It was a really useful thing, and Google Earth is much better than anything Microsoft has came out with, 3d mapping, that is.
I'm pretty sure you're totally biased against anything that's not Windows. As annoying as it is. Also, I noted that you use Firefox, rather than IE, which you're admitting that Mozilla has came out with a better browser than Microsoft. Almost all IE versions aren't very good, and that includes Beta 3, it's really buggy, not to mention the fact that almost all IE versions have severe security leaks. I was using IE untill a good friend of mine suggested I switch to Firefox, I loved it, and it looked better than IE, not to mention it was faster.
Also, Microsoft isn't open-source, which means you can't legally make upgrades, and customize it to your liking, which always means that open-source programs will be better than Microsoft programs.
If Microsoft switched to open-source software, then I'd be in absolute love. Though, it's very doubtful that they will.
Yours truely,
Chris
