<![CDATA[Paul Thurrott Turns into A 13-Year-Old]]>In Windows Weekly 66, Paul Thurrott turns into a whiny 13-year-old. Thurrott feels that he is the one to defend Microsoft against some mainstream journalists. The argument is valid, but essentially Thurrott debunked himself for not being a Microsoft (original) Defender (not to be confused with Microsoft Windows Defender, the anti-spyware software. Thanks clintthewookie for the corrections.).

Close to the 18 minute mark of the podcast (note to Leo Laporte: “netcast” term is lame), Thurrott mentions that with 1 terabyte hard drive and 4GB RAM, it is essentially OK to have “bloated software” just because the resources is there. Gee, that sounds like Thurrott echoing Bill Gates.

A little bit after, Thurrott was saying: “The version of Mac OS X that was available when Windows 95 shipped…..”

Leo Laporte did not even catch it waht ever the reason was.

Series of Tubes to Paul Thurrott: There was no Mac OS X back in 1995. Not even in 1998. Don’t you remember your MacBook Core Solo?
