[X4U] Consumer Reports

[lj Palmer]

I disagree that CR is pro-Mac. I believe they are very much pro-PC.  
They have a long history biasing their reports toward the PC. In the  
old days, I thought it might be because they were a PC house and had  
a natural bias. But as the years go by, nothing changes. They are  
not  a reliable source for computer reviews.

The viruses and spyware numbers should have an editors note with the  
actual data. They done similar things in the past.  They always seem  
to have something to reduce any perceived Mac advantage.
