Dear Microsoft, I’m upset with you, and you probably know why already. You’ve got guilty written all over your face. You’ve gone and done something you shouldn’t have done and it will affect people in ways they don’t want to be affected. If you’re going to play dumb, I’ll explain. Recently you offered an update to Windows [...] I’m not saying that Linux computers aren’t real now.

I announce to you fonfaq.com. Yes, its lowercase intentionally and it is pronounced Phone Fack. Why not head on over and take a look. [...] As you probably already know, I was at Tech-Ed 2009 in Los Angeles earlier this week and while I was there I got to confront the Surface PC guys about the difficulties which were discovered while setting up the behemoth US$15,000 machine.
