MARIUS OIAGA
Marius has been writing for Softpedia News since Vista was still in beta, way back in 2006, and intends to stick around for Windows 50 (this will probably take a very long time since Microsoft has only recently reached Windows 7). He believes that reporting on Microsoft events and product launches is like living the high life of IT journalism, because the Redmond company is at the center of the software universe.
He only unveiled one of his hobbies: working with photographs, especially untouched images in RAW format.
Personal motto: "Updated one minute ago", obviously
