I stopped reading the Guardian weekly computer section years ago. The 
Computer Editor is/was Jack Schofield - one of the biggest Microsoft 
pushers I have ever come across. He got me so mad at times simply 
regurgitating Microsoft propaganda as journalism. The worst thing about 
his poison was that he has a position of authority in a quality newspaper 
so many people would have been influenced by his sales spiel.

I still have cuttings of some of his articles from 10 years ago.
