MacNN caught this incredible defection and loss of faith by a former Vista booster, PC Magazine editor-in-chief Jim Louderback, as he steps down from his position. The man himself writes:
WTF.
I went to read this article, but I found it HARD TO FIND THE CONTENT OF THE DAMN ARTICLE BETWEEN THE ADS ON THE PAGE!
One ad floated gently down from the top of the browser and came to rest in the middle of the screen, awaiting my "close this window" click.
Anticipating that I might dump the old mouse, I had selected a USB input devices option when I recompiled the Linux kernel recently... To my surprise I pluged the damn thing in and it just worked. No configuration, nothing. A cool moment.
That's not exactly what's happening. The article that you referenced is representative of one MF staffer, and it is posted a rebuttal to a different bullish post. From the article:
"While Google is my favorite search engine, its valuation gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I'm 29 years old, and it has been three weeks since my third open heart surgery. This surgery was to correct a dialated aortic root. As the aortic root was continually enlarging over the past couple of years, it pulled the aortic valve apart, causing significant leakage.
The surgery was performed at the University of Michigan Medical Center by Dr. Edward Bove. Dr. Bove also performed my last two operations.
T-Mobile is my carrier, and I was able to get a new phone at the new subscriber price. I really wanted the following in a new phone:
After I saw the film late last summer, I downloaded one of the band's songs called "Slower". This song is on my Rio, computer, and Jukebox. Every time I listen to this song, I remind myself to go out and buy the album.
I haven't had printing capability with GIMP since I upgraded to GIMP 2.
It turns out that I needed to add a USE flag, "gimpprint", to make.conf, and then 'emerge gimp' one more time.
I also picked up another trick: emerge -pv will do a pretend emerge (which I already knew), but the -v (verbose) option will tell you which USE flags it is looking for.
I'd almost like to have this as a default emerge flag...
