Call them what you want but I would hardly call them pro-Apple Goldman or no Goldman.

"Windows 7 or whatever it's called." -- Strike one, you arrogant prick.
"Lemme ask you a technical question, are you gonna be able and go.....install Windows 7 over XP" -- Strike two. That's not a "technical question". That's a basic question. Quit posing.
And that heavy sigh when she says "not as easy".....strike three. You were looking for a fight. You were waiting to up talk Apple and bash Microsoft.
Comparing Windows XP to his shiny new Mac is like comparing the Playstation 2 to the Super Nintendo. They're from two entirely different generations, jerkwad. XP came out in 2001. I'm betting the contest would've been a lot closer back then. I'm guessing you also would've liked the range of compatibility your Mac had back then a lot less, you two-bit newb. Heck they didn't even get NTFS support until 2004. You want an example of a technical question? Try going back to 2001 and asking someone if you can transfer a file from your iMac to your coworker's Windows machine using your 32MB USB stick.
You know, fanboy fights I'm fine with. Anybody wanna go and put Windows 7 and Snow Leopard head to head, I'm down. But arrogant, obnoxious, and more importantly completely uninformed fanboyism is NEVER ok. Someone please take this guy off the air.
Man alive, I swear I wanna hit that guy.

She answered the "How difficult will it be to upgrade?" question accurately and minimally (which is necessary on TV shows like this). My bet is given the chance, we'd see how knowledgeable she was if she was talking to a complete douche.

I wonder if he'd of said the same talking to Ballmer...in the same room...with chairs.
10/06/09
One chair would go flying. The chair would move so fast that its legs would slice cleanly through those reporters without having its trajectory altered much. Any blunt portion of that chair smacking into any area into those fleshy sacks they call bodies would be splattered into a fine red mist.
Despite that, one chair would not be sufficient to satiate Monkey Boy's raw vengeful rage. If there is a God, may he help the studio that would air something like this with him on air, because rubble is all that would be left of it.
Oh wait, I'm thinking of the Hulk...

Ballmer would then eat two more of the chairs, before eating the Fat Angry TV Man. Then, to prove how good Windows 7 is, he'd vomit FATMan onto the keyboard of a Windows 7 machine and command it to reassemble him. Windows 7 would then do so out of fear. When the man became whole once more, thoroughly impressed with Windows 7's capabilities (at least, when Ballmer's in the room), he would take back every bad thing he said.
As Ballmer accepts his apology, he would breathe fire on the man, incinerating him on the spot. It's a sign of respect where he comes from.
Edit: Hey! All my Windows 7's line up! Yay!

You killed it. Then you killed it even more when you said Windows 7 would reassemble some guy who's presence in your ditty makes no sense.
The whole thing is dead beyond even the recall of the gods. #cnbc

I'd go with Shiner's Bohemian Black Lager or Blue Moon.

Unfortunately, the media has recently begun a certain 'crusade' on 'unofficial' blogs. And by 'unofficial', they mean 'not on TV'.
What can you expect?

It's like a bad late night talk show host, asking questions and not even pretending to listen, just jumping into the next joke at Microsoft's expense, then plugging Apple's OS and his MacBook. I'm not sure Apple could have asked any more of him, even if they paid him.

If having a market cap of $221 billion means being a failed company in your eyes, I'd hate to succeed.

I'm willing to bet that at some point today, you used Microsoft software. It might be on your home computer. It might be on your work computer. It might have been at the ATM. Microsoft "failed" its way to market dominance - a position it has held for two decades.

I'm just saying that all of the large companies eventually fall. I don't think its the time yet for them to take a hit but eventually they will, along with Apple, BP and all of those big firms.

-Ahh, the classic casually dismissing "what is that called again" attack.
