Or, a lost sheep�s ongoing struggle to stay relevant in this internet age. Now don't get me wrong, I have always had quite a lot of respect for Chris Pirillo, but something happened when Microsoft talked up Longhorn and eventually shipped Vista. Chris was enraged most of the time because the promise of "Longhorn 2003" never happened, and I think he probably feels that Microsoft cheated themselves, and him out of a worthwhile upgrade. Ever since, he hasn't involved himself in Microsoft (lab) events and has become quite outspoken against Windows Vista.

From John's AbsoluteVista Blog: In a post last week, on St. Valentine�s Day no less, Chris Pirillo states his 50 reasons to switch from Windows (any version?) to OS X.

After getting past his preamble about neutrality, he delivers his thoughts. Actually, we are supposed to take his thoughts as neutral since it is not a Windows bash. Furthermore, since in his opening statements he declared his relationships with some sponsors, we should take the product plugs as gospel. Feel free to ingest a grain/several grains of salt with his recommendations.

I have taken it upon myself to provide a public service by attempting to debunk some of the outright errors, factual errors, product plugs, and gross misconceptions in his beliefs.
