I wonder about MS-Word - or even Windows of any flavor!?  Can you not criticize 
any MS products or affiliated services if you are running Windows?  What would 
this mean about MSNBC?  Can their reporters produce true stories or are they 
censored by Bill Gates and friends.

Sorry - I just couldn't resist.
