Atwood is an admitted fan of Microsoft products, so yeah, this is written from that perspective. Blogs aren't encyclopedias - they don't have to be NPOV to be worth reading.

If you don't want to read opinion posts written by people who are partial towards one platform or another, you're going to cut yourself off from an awful lot of potentially interesting writing. (E.g. Jeff Atwood & Ed Bott, John Gruber & MG Siegler, Jon Corbet & Bruce Byfield, to pick two fans each respectively of Microsoft, Apple, and Linux).

(Of course, the worst thing is to only read blogs from people whose biases you share, under the delusion that they're the only objective ones...)

I understand its a blog, but his post had not a one bad thing to say about windows 8. It was also exclusively about windows laptops. He might have written better articles, and I'll give this a shot. As a sponsored post though, this one is less than subtle.
