Right, but don't forget that Freescale, which created the bug in the first
place, also gets a pass.
This is not surprising, however. In the past couple of weeks, Tom has:
- accused MS of intentionally crashing the Zunes to sell new Zunes,
- accused MS of intentionally crashing the Win7 beta servers as a publicity
stunt, and
- implied that MS has paid or somehow otherwise coerced reviewers to post
positive ("fawning") reviews of Win7 (they are "damn suspicious").
(But don't bring this up because, if you point this out or try to discuss
technical issues that he's ignoring, he calls you a jerk and says that
you're ignoring technical issues.)
