I agree on your point on MS, but I should mention now that there's
another good show on (at present) called _"Digital Duo"_
http://www.digitalduo.com/, their hosts don't seem to have any
problem criticizing MS (with supporting arguments given).
And _"Net Cafe"_ aint bad either.

The number one reason why I'm not a member of WNET-NYPBS
now is that it seems to dump all these great shows at the drop of
a hat -- perhaps your PBS hasn't.


example quote:
   http://www.digitalduo.com/412_dig.html
"Every couple of years, and sometimes more often than that, Microsoft
 comes out with a massive upgrade of its Windows operating system.
 Once in a while, it's a really major improvement, like Windows 95. But
 a lot of times it's just a bunch of bug fixes that should have been offered
 for free and maybe some cute new features. That was certainly the case
 with Windows 98. Windows Me is decidedly in the bug-fix category except
 that this time the new features turn out to be third-rate knockoffs of
other
 people's software."
