It’s been a great many years since Apple and Microsoft fans started bashing each other in forums and chat rooms, both ardent supporters of their corner and determined to fight to the death to win the argument.  Yesterday, I wrote part 2 of this article series and it caused some considerable debate.  I have to say the quality of the debate was generally very high and balanced.  There was one comment though that I thought made a good point about anyone who writes about Microsoft or Apple at the moment. Andy Clarke wrote “How much are Microsoft paying you guys at Windows7news.com?  All I’m hearing is blinkered and biased propaganda from you guys.” Yesterday I wrote that I believe that all operating systems these days are pretty much the same, Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux (Yes, I stand corrected on that one) and that to the casual observer it was hard sometimes to tell them apart.  I went on to say that I believed anyone who said that one was better than any other really should be saying it’s just better “for them”. It’s quite common though nowadays for commentators such as ourselves to be accused of bias.  This is Windows 7News after all, so our remit is to write about Windows 7.  We don’t have a Mac focus so wouldn’t be writing about that unless, as is the case with this article series, it’s relevant to our core subject
