Maybe.

But I'm getting a free copy of Ultimate that I do not have to pay $320 for. So I'm not one to complain about having to organize a party and hang out with friends I was already going to hang out with anyway, in exchange for showing of Win7 in the process.]]>Sep 22nd 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/Sep 22nd 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/Sep 22nd 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/Sep 22nd 2009 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/
ugh i makes me cringe when fanboys cheer during apple's keynote.

wtf engadget - i believe you cheered too - what happened to journalistic integrity? ]]>Sep 22nd 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/Sep 22nd 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/
No, you have it all wrong. This is an apple fanboy, where the only language is Objective-C, so your program translated into Objective-C:

@interface MyEngadgetResponse
{
}
- (void)checkIfNotAppleAndRespond;
- (void)init;
@end

@implementation MyEngadgetResponse
- (void)init
{
}

- (void)checkIfNotAppleAndRespond
{
Detect *detect = [[Detect alloc] init];
if([detect keywords:"microsoft, "zune", "xbox"] == YES)
{
Insert *insert = [[Insert alloc] init];
[insert commentatary: "lame"];
}
}
@end

void main()
{
MyEngadgetResponse *myEngadgetResponse = [[MyEngadgetResponse alloc] init];
[myEngadgetResponse checkIfNotAppleAndRespond];

You may remember when this "Launch Party" idea was first talked about on Engadget, there were many Windows people who were critical of the idea, does that make them all Apple fanboys, too?

You talked about logic, well, here is your bad logic:

Is the comment anti-Apple?
No?
Then it must be pro-Apple.

Now this is obviously wrong, since Detox could - indeed, was - saying *nothing* about Apple. It is possible to be neither pro-Apple nor anti-Apple (it is especially easy when you're not talking about Apple).

Here is a thought for next time - don't put words in people's mouths, instead find out what they meant or who they were referring to. Doing that will prevent you from making idiotic posts, and from bringing Apple into a discussion about Microsoft's launch parties.

Bringing Apple into unrelated discussions is what you keep criticising Apple fanboys for. Hypocrites.]]>Sep 22nd 2009 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/Sep 22nd 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-handing-out-windows-7-launch-party-host-confirmations/
