Poor, poor M$ shill
---personally think that any assessor who has to resort to derogatory naming, i.e. "Wronghorn", right out of the chute is hardly worth listening to---

Probably worth listening to as much as someone that refers to other people as 'ninnies'.

Remember?

*********************
The OSS fans are dismayed and want to see SCO trounced at the bar for daring to besmirch the linux image, but they are like a bunch of ninnies.

********************

M$ shills, following in the footsteps of their demi-god, can't seem to remember from day to day.

Not likely. It's more like with M$ it's OK since it's their god but anyone else that does it is definitely wrong.

M$ hypocrisy rule #337

I found it to be an extremely enlightening story. Highly factual, informative, and bluntly put, totally out of character for ZDNet. Definitely the kind of warning people need to see before committing econimic suicide by comitting to M$ bloatware.

Wonder if M$ dropped some of their advertising on ZDNet? I can see the threat, "You drop your advertising account and we will stop printing your PR soundbytes and tell the truth about your garbage!" M$ worst nightmare. People discovering the truth.

The truth seems to really hurt these shills.

This is truly rich.
