Mary Jo has also written in her latest book that Microsoft actually bought Yahoo! Now that brings any credibility she may have thought she had to minus 1000. Totally lame.

Paul has been smarting ever since Mary Jo wiped the floor with him on a recent episode of Windows Weekly. Paul prides himself on being "Mr. Microsoft" and on his contacts within the company which allow him to post not-so-exclusive "exclusives" on his websites. The new Windows and Office heads don't care much for Paul, though, so his so-called "exclusives" are pretty few and far between these days. Mary Jo, however, keeps printing exclusive after exclusive after exclusive.

On the Mary Jo episode of Windows Weekly, Mary Jo showed that she knew a heck of a lot more about Microsoft and what goes on there because she has far better contacts and connections inside the company. Plus she's pretty modest and unassuming about her achievements, unlike somebody we know. Obviously. She's just written an insightful book on the company while Paul has just finished a book on Windows Vista "secrets" i.e. those things that anyone could discover if they just poked about a bit in Vista for a while.

So, it was only a matter of time before Peeved Paul took a pot shot at Mary Jo, to smack her down for being better informed about all things Microsoft than he is. Have you noticed how many pages of content Paul has devoted to trashing the Windows 7 content around the web today? Translation: he's not getting the information and exclusives he wants / needs about the next version of Windows, so he's taking pot shots at everyone who may be better connected and informed than he is.

I see a man running scared - when you earn your bread and butter talking about Microsoft and Windows and you can't get access to the information you need to keep you credible as a leading source about such things, well...

Mary Jo should start her own podcast now, something like "The REAL Windows Weekly"
