After the more-or-less positively received "You find it, you keep it" television advertisements, it seems as if Microsoft is quickly falling back to its previous mistakes of relying on easily countered FUD-like tactics. We already discussed the blog post regarding Linux on netbooks, which was easily countered on virtually every point made. However, it gets even worse: Microsoft has ordered a study detailing what the company calls the hidden "Apple tax" that you are supposedly paying if you go Apple. Now, I'm the first to state that Apple simply doesn't provide the optimal pricing for everyone, but this Microsoft sponsored study is so completely and utterly ridiculous it makes me wonder just who on earth would look at it and go "Yeah, this looks pretty convincing!"

Yeah, I love kids next door. And geek squad. And Windows XP. After they fill the owner's heads with bad advice, misinformation and FUD, they still fail to truly solve the problem at hand if it's any more complicated than running Ad-Aware or a virus scan.
They make me a lot of money.
Even better when they give up and try to reload the machine and leave it in an unpatched state with half of the drivers missing.
Kids next door also have no clue about what real quantifiable performance is other than comparing clock rates and the number of cores. In short, they don't have a f**king clue and you deserve everything you get should you gamble and utilize them. And someone like me is going to rape you financially for it..... on purpose.
