gnufreexschestowtiz: Re Peter Bright, I think he is an Apple shill rather than MSFT. Microsoft fanboys frequently bash him in comments for being to truthful in Microsoft reviews. Like this for example  http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/12/microsoft-may-be-porting-windows-to-arm-but-it-makes-no-sense.ars?comments=1&start=160#comment-21153302Jan 19 22:40
