The internets (yes, plural, at least GW thinks so anyway) are full of idiots. Its a fact. Any stupid person can post an article on a topic they no nothing about. Whoever wrote this article is an example of one of those people.

Don't forget the licenses you have to buy for the burger and each employee that had to touch it while making it. Might as well forget it if you want an Enterprise Burger with Exchange. hehe.

I'm thinking he was half-cooked, when he wrote that article.

I wouldn't listen to a word that comes out of a person that goes out to a meal at Mc'Donalds. I mean, this guys head is as much junk as the Mc'Donalds junk that he eats.

Sheesh, if the guy has an opinion, fine, but this was nothing but pure bashing without an ounce of support. The guy spent far too many words on analogies to food instead of quoting actual evidence or explaining his reasoning. Every time he got close to a potential argument (such as the need for paid technical support in critical life-and-death situations), he blew it.
