I am reminded of how Linux folks would moan about exactly the same thing: "Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, but it just doesn't have the features that NT has..." or whatever. It was apparently imperative to start with "Don't get me wrong, I love Linux". The writing in this article is exactly like the old, "Don't get me wrong, I love Linux" articles where the author would reveal that he or she actually uses Windows most of the time.<p>What can we make of this? Linux seems to have hit its stride, you hardly read articles with that tone any more. Will Windows Phone come back from near death? Or were all the "Don't get me wrong" people just Microsoft shills like a lot of people suspected? Or is this just a common journalism trope?
