Thanks for this comment. But these articles make me angry anyhow.
On the other hand...
It's not necessary to take these things written by complete idiots
which are selling their brains to MS serious. They don't even notice 
how stupid and ignorant they are? Would you hire such a guy
for work? Someone who's not able to think by himself? A person who 
doesn't even notice his complete dependence on MS...

The very fact that such articles appear in a magazine which is 
intended to be taken serious sheds darkness on the NT community. They 
should take such stuff much more serious :-)
