I LOLed when this said: "The last time hed been this excited was when Windows came out."

That's just so wrong on so many levels. Does the Observer not care which version, or is Bruce rightfully assuming his target audience to be the average Joe who thinks IE6 is 'The Internet'? And if we look at the statement itself, if you were excited when Windows came out you were either mental (1.0), or working for Microsoft marketing (95). Or you are well aware of what Microsoft were/are doing and represent but you have no moral fiber and are trying to drive up prices with less than subtle Microsoft stock parallels.

I must admit I'm fairly new to all of this and Bruce seemed like an OK guy when I first saw his show (with Plato's cross country trip), but this and the ponzi talk he gave on the freedom radio show puts a big dent in that.

I was a young teenager at the time; but I was really excited when windows 95 came out. I imagine the DOS -> Windows transition had a lot of people smiling as well.
