That's true, but currently, and for the last month I've been 100% Windows
free. Just I enjoy hearing news regarding MS. I know others don't care
perhaps, but that's why it would only be a five minute or so section.

Also I definitely don't want it to be a MS bashing section, of course
sometimes they do utterly rediculous stuff, and it is funny, but I don't
mean it needs to be a hating section.

And lastly, I wouldn't mind doing this if anyone cares... Just throwing that
out there.
