I still think he's being a sensationalist. Even the BBC are less biased here. There is no requirement to get it certified and you can just use minecraft how it is now without having to go near an app store.

This is all hot air.

The BBC has always been biased toward microsoft.

It definitely hasn't. They've been terribly critical over the years.

I think the issue is that they are not as biased against them as the rest of the industry who know how to get clicks for Microsoft bashing.

Have you noticed a pattern in BBC's malware reporting? When it's about windows malware, they deliberately avoid mentioning the name windows, instead calling it "PC malware" or "computer virus". But when it's about Android malware, they make darn sure to call it what it is, Android malware. In that case they don't do the dance of calling it, say, "mobile malware". I don't know about you, but to me this is a blatant form of bias.

Hmm like?

But I think they're biased against everybody. At heart, journalists tend toward cynicism...

I've seen that before. To be honest, most of it is crap. It's cherry picking. They're always splurging over Ubuntu and raspberry pi.

the only bias I see is pro war and pro current government And the occasional shoddy piece of journalism.
