In my Favourites folder, most of the links that appear here are under the topic 'Anti-M$'. Although that is a correct representation of the material under this heading, the connotation does leave a lot to be desired. There seems to be a lot of wannabeeism associated with this topic nowadays. Not that I dont subscribe to a lot of those characteristics, I'm not too much of a literate myself. But I persobally believe that these are articles that one must begin with. And needless to say, the list never stops here at 'Reality Check - M$'
