Truth. Brand loyalty is stupid. Brand loyalty to ms after what they've pulled is cause for sectioning.

That's true. I personally am never Brand loyal. If I were, I would have stuck with Nintendo after my Famicom/SNES instead of going Saturn/PSX (even though I still support their DS platform)...or sticking with Nokia (and their Symbian OS) instead of switching to Android. My money goes to the innovator and company that gives me the best bang for my buck and the most use...and price is a definite factor.

But tell that to the Apple blind-supporting people. ;)

Well he had to go sooner or later. If he didn't leave then he would have gotten pushed out. He's going to head up(*snicker*) Zynga. Talk about jumping ship at any opportunity. He'll likely won't last long there but by then he'll be a faded memory.
Thoughts and Prayers to the many thousands of civilians who perished from terrorists acts.
