    A very interesting analysis from my old friend, Ed Bott at ZDNet. Caution: ZDNet has a stupid sound-tracked video that plays every time I go on the site, so turn your speakers down or off before clicking.

    Other than that, I generally agree with Ed’s findings. I’d be interested in hearing your take on Ed’s comments….
