Technology Writers are Worthless

January 8th, 2010 Stu No comments

image One of the questions I am constantly wondering is “why are so many of the technology writers against Microsoft”. Seriously, this is actually one of those things I wonder all the time. They are not supposed to be “Joe Shmoe” that only knows that Microsoft was sued for being a monopoly (10 years ago) or some old perception. They are supposed to be “in the know”, “in the loop”, have a deep knowledge of the industry and let’s not forget journalists. Instead it is non-stop “bash Microsoft”. Sure Microsoft deserves their fair share of criticism. Microsoft has made sub par products or not kept up with the market, but who hasn’t made mistakes? But the technology writers root for Microsoft to fail and it doesn’t take reading between the lines to notice it.

Windows Live ID Becomes an OpenID Provider

October 27th, 2008 Stu No comments

I have been telling friends that I think Microsoft in a post Bill Gates era has changed. I won’t claim that they are as innocent as a puppy, but I think the exclusive Microsoft era is over. Microsoft has embraced many open source technologies recently. I take this as a good sign and I’ll give the credit to Ray Ozzy.

So Live ID and OpenID will work together… Good going Microsoft. I would love to use my Live ID, instead of trying to remember the 10 or so IDs I have across the Internet.

From the Live Dev website…
