One of the things I hate are people who think they are so important and even how they claim to be the smartest person in the world. The subject of this post is one person in particular. Rory Blythe. Rory writes a blog at Neopoleon.com. I had my first run in with Rory about two years ago on his blog and when he was a host for the .NET show, yes I used to use Windows before I discovered the perfection known as gNewSense. Back then Rory was a huge SCO supporter and was almost gleeful that SCO had sued IBM. Well now that that episode has come to an end where is my old friend Rory? Rory had gone to work for Microsoft and even wound up on the Channel 9 team when something happened in his personal life and he had to quit. As a side note I do hope Rory has gotten better and is healthy and happy. Channel 9 has gone to the dumps since then as they really havent found a suitable replacement. The videos have gone bland and the site is a shell of its former glory when Robert Scoble ran the site and Rory replaced him. Rory may not be the Smartest Man in the World, but he is amusing. He does make me laugh.
During his glory days Rory Blythe was a huge .NET advocate, we fought over .NET and he brought up some good points, some bad and we went our seperate ways. So I got to thinking about Rory in the car in rush hour traffic got home and checked out his blog to see what had been happening. Well it seems that Rory has become somewhat of a Mac advocate and now uses Apple computers. Im glad he got away from Microsoft and moved on. In metaphor like Darth Vader did in Return of the Jedi, Rory hoisted Bill Gates up and tossed him into the pit. Rory has changed since his SCO days and is no longer the rabid M$ supporter and SCO supporter. I do wonder what he thinks of Objective C.
I wish Rory the best, I hope he finds a job and most importantly I feel like I have won. The one time biggest supporter of Microsoft no longer uses their products and thats one less slave of Redmond.

Man, no offense, but you sound bitter and/or jealous. The only person who commented was the person you were attacking! Perhaps if your blog were 1/10 as popular as Rory's you wouldn't be so bitter. This is the #1 reason I don't blog.
Having known Rory personally since grade school, I know you're way off base with several of your claims, which makes this post sound like senseless drama. And for what? To bruse some egos or hurt some feelings? No one else is listening... it's just us guys duking it out... mano a mano... no one here to witness. How many unique visits did this post even get?
