Its too bad the list was fake, and M$ should really consider some of the things that were on this list. Major Nelson can seriously suck a fat one, I cant stand him.

Agreed, not a fan of Major Nelson, stopped listening to his podcast a long time ago. All he talked about was his trips abroad, or what he did that past week at home.

Not that he needs any defending, but currently it is Major Nelson that is the closest person we have to Microsoft that tells us anything.  He plays this man in the middle game where he does not tell anything that he is not allowed to divulge, but it is more than we are getting from other "official channels".  Microsoft has always been very secretive as are most other corporations as to what they are working on. 

I do listen to his show mostly for the interviews.

What really made me go off him was that he moaned about a trip he had to make to Japan and then to San Francisco. I would LOVE to go to them places for work. Ofcourse he has too "work" whilst he is there but I would swap in an instant for my boring office job.
