When Microsoft releases their service packs, they give them out for free. How about a little journalistic honesty?

Question: How can you tell the difference between a Tech writer and a used car salesman?

Answer: The used car salesman knows when he is lying.

Hey guy's just an observation, you have to compare apples to apples. Their sales probably did rise 11.8% compared to MS 3.9%, but you have to realize Apple normal sales last year 1,000 Mac's, this year 1,400 thus 11% increase, on the other hand MS 3,000,000 sales, this year 3,200,000 thus 3% increase. Not accurate i know, but who has the biggest market share. So does MS really care, don't think so.

The little guys have to drum, else they won't be heard. If Apple sales went up, that's good for them and for the economy. Would I buy one - NO!
