Customer Reviews
If you like tech podcasts, you'll love this one.
I was already a fan of Paul Thurrott from listening to Windows Weekly and just stumbled on this podcast after looking at Paul's website. I personally think Paul is one of the best, if not the best, tech commentators on the web. Although he is an author of Windows books, he pulls no punches when talking about MS, Apple, or anyone else. I was not familiar with his co-host Andrew Zarian before I started listening, but he is also very informative and easy to listen to. If you like tech podcasts, you'll love this one.
Biased and Uninformed
If your going to bash a product or a company, know your facts. Thorrott, your Microsoft bias is becoming increasingly hard to bear. I don't have anything against MS. I just want to hear arguments based on logic, not bias.
Great Show
I love andrew and Paul . This is one of the best tech shows out there. Much better then Windows Weekly
