Microsoft bashing is getting old.

You are reading my post too far: I was not bashing anyone. If anything, I was complaining about the writing, not the stack itself (which I have used daily and still use from time to time since I moved to a mostly Ruby shop). I was hoping the "behind the scenes" to be a bit more technical and a bit less ad so the article, while an interesting story, was a let down.
