Do software reviewers need to use the software they are provided with it before they use it?
Not if you're the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones. Then you play the faux-naif game that technology is so awfully complicated, that twits like a technology correspondent couldn't possibly use it.
This is what Cellan-Jones does with a ridiculous slamming of Ubuntu. You might think that this "technology correspondent" might use a technology during the review. But no that would be too much for the him:

Really. F-Spot, RhythmBox, Kaffeine, VLC. This has to be one of the most pathetic put downs by anyone in the media ever.
Why does the BBC employ people like him? Oh, wait that's right, it is well documented that the BBC is a Microsoft front. By promoting Microsoft product, Cellan-Jones is doing his job.
This is your telly-tax at work.
