Thank you, good sir. That just made my day. I will have to use that one in the future.
On topic: Fragmentation doesn't always mean the end of the world. A lot of people could not spot the differences between iOS 4 and 5, or Froyo and ICS. As far as development goes, MS has gone on record to say that all WP7 apps will run on WP8. Personally, I'll just wait and see what will come of this before throwing my lot in with the Perez Hiltons of tech journalism.
I agree.
There are only a few people submitting ExtremeTech articles.
Unfortunately (fortunately?) the article that was submitted was actually of a decent quality level and I couldn't find anything to disagree with. I didn't want to call out the author to make them speak ill of his/her coworkers, so I've been waiting to see another article submitted by the author of said article, who then also comments on it.
