Roy has done his homework in this case and the facts are easily verified. Microsoft’s online and entertainment losses are longstanding facts that Roy has reported for years. If anyone thinks there’s something wrong with ZDNet’s analysis of this quarter’s losses, please examine the report yourself and let us all know. Most Techrights regulars are here because they care about facts.

In the mean time, I have to agree with Roy that Florian is a troll. When Microsoft turns a $60 billion cash pile into debt trying to take over the internet, Florian chides Roy for listening to a reporter he trusts at ZDNet. When a Win32 virus downs an airline and kills more than 100 people, Florian blames IBM. In the last month, Florian has polluted Techrights comments with hundreds of insulting and distracting comments, all to defend Microsoft. I don’t think he’s made a single, useful correction.

I’m not a troll for pointing out that the two things don’t mix at all.

I didn’t say “troll”. I still think you are a campaigner for hire, at the very least based on your history.

This is tabloid level, fitting alongside Justin Bieber “scoops”. There’s lots like that, but this is one which I found today.

Now you just quoted a ZDNet analyst above.

That doesn’t make *me* a troll. Just someone else.

I’m not a troll for pointing out that the two things don’t mix at all. Instead, they show that you just pick targets you want to smear and you don’t seem to care about the facts. If it looks useful to you, you use it, no matter how dubious the source is (such as ‘Groklie’ quotes). In my case, I just quoted ZDNet and got bashed for it.
