Engadget gone all Microsoftian ?

They're back to more varied coverage now that the wall-to-wall iPhone coverage has died away, but the Apple-addled blogoidiotsphere attitude is never far away.
Engadget is not Microsoftian by any means. If anything, being composed apparently mainly of 'bottom-up journalists' - if 'journalists' can be used in their case - in terms of talent and having much in common with you guys, they're more of a seething hotbed of Apple Fanboys.
Take this for a start.

"What are you trying to say, Microsoft? That people heard really bad things from their friends and co-workers, but a slick 10 minute sales presentation showed them the light?"
To the author I'd say "It's a marketing pitch, moron, and quite an effective one at that - and a lot less grounded in outright lies than anything from Apple."

Mmh, we'll see. My prediction is that it'll be a quarter of the site it was in 6 months time. I'm certain some kind of conscious policy change has occurred.
