Attacks against google, firefox, apple, and praise windows .net mvc, etc?

Considering I run XP, am diving into ASP.NET MVC with abandon and recently forsake OS X for all of this, I am definitely in a minority of one. I've always figured that you pick the tool for the job. At this point, the tool needs to be focused on Windows. Instead of feeding the boring product vs product, tool vs tool or tech vs tech war, online journos should grow a pair and start assessing stuff on individual merit. Maybe then, this industry would look less like a pack of squabbling pre-teens, and more like a cadre of professionals.
