From ZDNet’s AnchorDesk: “This column is a response to my detractors — amply represented in the TalkBack forum — who
take the position that anything bad for Microsoft is good for computing. My responsibility,

That is a lofty journalistic idea, but I also give Microsoft credit when I feel it’s due, and that
