Ed at Pocket PC Thoughts goes OT

June 11, 2006

Now I read PPCT a lot, they’re always a good source of info, commentary and the like, but once in awhile one of the mods goes off topic and starts a thread that simply shows how ignorant the population can be.

Ed Hansberry rants on how Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Advantage tool is akin to “big brother” and whimpers about about Microsoft trusting him not to be a criminal one day and not the next.

Good God, there are more important things that Microsoft is not doing to bitch about.

UPDATE: Microsoft Watch has a great Q&A on Windows Genuine Advantage that tries to clear the FUD on WGA.

  • Ed I know what you mean about one thing at a time. Strange that I got your name correct in the post, and not the Technorati tag - I'll correct that asap.

    I guess I just come at WGA from a different perspective, and was a bit tired of reading as many posts as there are on the topic right now. I do enjoy your work on PPCT, and value your opinion - you just caught me by surprise a little yesterday.

    Thanks for your comment!
  • If you are going to blast me, at least spell my name right. ;-)

    And yes, there are many things MS isn't doing right, and many things it is. WGA is one of the things it isn't, and while there may be things more important, I can only get to one at a time.
