Thank you for such insightful and well written articles. I used to use ZDNet for my briefing info, intelligence updates and news but recently they have become such stomach-churningly, simpering slaves to Microsoft that I have closed my account in favour of more even-handed, intelligent and knowlegable sites like about.com.

Keep up the good work !
