Gutless! [Updated]
"What happened to the guts in mainstream publications?" Linux Journal's Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Petreley asks in his latest blog. Good question.
| ...Microsoft all but eliminated mainstream software competition. As a result, Microsoft became the primary source of advertising revenue for mainstream publications. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. So instead of publishing issues calling for a worldwide boycott of Vista because it focuses more on what you can't do than what you can do, you see special editions praising Vista as the greatest advancement in computing since Windows 95. |
The syco-frenzy starts tomorrow...

Geoff will be covering DRM in his PC World Consumer Watch column for April, which is a slightly edgier month than the mainstream March.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating! Remember what was said about XP... any bets on how Vista fairs in a years time?

So i guess this means PC world NZ is mainstream, not one mention of the real problems of Vista in the latest magazine.
