I doubt it.  I've been reading Joel's columns for years, and they are
always interesting and insightful, even if I don't always agree.  He
certainly is a Windows fanboy, he was one of the team that wrote Excel,
one of the only decent pieces of software ever to come out of Redmond.

He's not unreasonably biased though, I've known some great engineers who
liked Windows.  Not many, but some.

"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage
unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial
nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment
to the commercial growth of prostitution"
