"Anyway I don't trust anything posted there, especially about Windows since that is a very biased anti-Microsoft web site that has no journalistic integrity at all."
Ignoring bias of your own statements. The Inquirer does not pretend to be anything else, and it doesn't hide behind any subterfuge, unlike Ars Technica which is a higher class site but lies, and is pro-Microsoft. This is very different from say something like phoronix which is just plain bad.
