PC Magazine definitely goes to bed with Microsoft.

IMHO one of the best PC-related mags around is "Personal
Workstation" which has the least blinkers on the Intel-Microsoft
front.

I see a common thread in the corporate strategies of Intel and

to hell, and sit back and enjoy the adulation of the
stockholders. 

As they say about Intel's brilliant efforts at fudging benchmarks:
