I don't think that anyone should trust MSFT. See "Brill's Content" of Sept 98, I think, also the emails entered into evidence in the anti-trust trials, also Burst v MSFT, and many, many others. http://www.users.qwest.net/~eballen1/msft.shilling.html proves that they lie a lot. As a personality, MSFT is a sociopath. |

phsolide: You know I wrote this in response to the poll (cited as the one they stuffed). http://linuxtoday.com/best.php3 The poll is closed now, of course, but it was fun while it lasted. Pick windows for a laugh :-) --FeriCyde |

This is taken from the old addage- " keep your friends close", so you can steal their businesses and "keep you enemies closer" so you can eat their canolies. |

Well, it's nice to see the communists and cancers stay under the table this time. That's the tendency at MS, they eventually found out the cancer-speaches etc. backfired. That's the reason this article is interesting: the tone of the FUD is changing. Instead of a direct attack, they choose to act like they care and they know what they're talking about (remember the guy they bought from Red Hat), and then, they sneak in with their lies. It's funny if you read the second page of the article, you immediately see this Brad-person isn't serious at all, if you read his point of view regarding patents. Even more funny is to watch his biography: Brad shows up every time to clean up the mess when MS did something stupid, like Ballmer & friends talking about communists, AOL, EU problems etc. (it's at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/bradsmith/default.as... ) |
