Microsoft Gives Laptops To Bloggers
So what's the big deal? Microsoft and AMD gave away [InformationWeek] Acer Ferrari laptops to select bloggers (six are identified in the InformationWeek article). It's not like they were the first to do this. Other companies have given stuff to bloggers, though Nokia only loans out their phones for review. Is this more integrity-preserving? Meh, I don't think so. I praised Nokia for their program, but unless Microsoft is demanding something in particular, I don't see a problem.
The laptops sound pretty sweet: over $2200, 64-bit processors, and the new Vista OS. I have no plans to switch to Vista, ever. Personally, I miss not using Linux and Mac, so my next two computers/ laptops are going to be Mac OS X and some undecided flavour of Linux.
So if anyone wants to send an Apple iPod Phone (when it comes out) or a Linux cell phone, I'll do a thorough review. I'm not proud and have no shame. Laptops with wireless and VoIP tech are welcome, too.
