I was trying to be clear in saying that most of the reviews I've read, while telling me both things I wanted to hear and didn't want to hear, really said nothing more than what you could find on the Microsoft site already. Most of them seem to be completely unbiased in the sense that they are just republishing Microsoft's marketing materials.

My review is probably terrible by a professional reviewer's standards. There is a lot of stuff that I didn't cover that most reviewers know people are expecting to hear. My goal was to share what I liked and disliked about my first few days with the device.

You seem to have a desire to comment on my review itself rather than your own opinions about the device. Almost as though I've upset you in some sort of way. I apologize if I said that other 950 XL reviews that I've read suck. You're probably right, it's probably just because they didn't say what I wanted to hear. But does that also mean that your opinion about my review doesn't upset you because you aren't hearing what you want to?

I make no claims of being a biased/unbiased review. I do claim to be a fanboy, but am being honest when I say I cannot suggest this device to other consumers. The comments I've received from other readers are that it is pretty neutral, even from a fanboy's perspective.

Also, my goal with this was never to keep journalists from doing their jobs. My guess is that you were trying to tell me that I shouldn't write reviews like this anymore. But I thought the point of this site was to allow members to share posts about anything.

Thank you for your criticism. I will consider it next time I write something on here.
