It's no secret that I have almost no respect for most of the “journalists” that cover our industry. My inbox is full of reasons why every morning and today it contained yet another perfect example:

Promising fast and efficient PC and network searches is the goal of BlackBall's BlackMagic, especially in the wake of Microsoft postponing the release WinFS until 2009. ZDNet's David Berlind talks with BlackBall Chief Executive Bob Brown.

WinFS is postponed until 2009? A hyperlink points to an article from last week (emphasis mine):

Microsoft does plan to include WinFS in the client version of Longhorn, which is expected to ship by mid-2006. And Muglia said WinFS will be included in the server version of Longhorn, slated to debut in 2007. However, "some of the functionality of WinFS and some of the scenarios may be limited in terms of what it can do. I don't know that we will have all of the scale to the level where we would like to have it, so that you could use it for very high-volume enterprise servers," he said.

Eh? Wha?

Some probably see this as anti-MSFT, but really I think it's just incompetency and makes me question the state of “journalism” in the industry. I need to get my industry news somehow, but things like this seem far too common and aren't confined to one or two sources.

Am I missing out on a respected, competent news source? How do you keep on top of what's going on outside of your little corner of the world?
