Macbreak weekly 98 had Merlin Mann nearly beside himself and going on a tear about Apple's crappy migration. At one point he admitted he no longer felt comfortable slamming MS as he had the last fifteen years because clearly things got more difficult for companies when scaling was involved. Leo Laporte agreed with him and on the windows weekly podcast...both of them are serious gliterati. Interesting listen.
