Bad: Channel 9

First and foremost, let me say that I fear the hand of Microsoft right now.

Channel 9 is a Microsoft promotion tool masquerading as a blog. The design is cluttered and irrelevant and it looks more like an outlet for MS to promote themselves than to actually have genuine content.

While I understand that is the point of this “blog”, I just think this is a misplaced attempt on Microsoft’s part; they thought “You know, this whole blogging thing is really popular. Let’s make some ads, add some writing to talk about the ad, then call it a blog. It’ll be a hit!”

Yuck.

Oh, by the way Microsoft, I do own an Xbox 360 and love it!
