[Tfug] MS Longhorn

[erich]

Guys,

    The very fact that you can find journalists that speak out against 
Microsoft
is a sign of the times. Microsoft can and still does blacklist 
journalists that
don't ascribe to its corporate policys. Apparently some think it's now 
safe to
speak out.

    The other side if the coin is that if you have enough money, you can get
a bunch of "experts" to say just about anything you want them to say. 
Consider
all the pronouncements and campaigns that tout Windows NT as a more secure
operating system than Linux and its ilk.

    Microsoft has about $15-billion in cold cash to spend on anything, 
(Legal
we expect), it wants, so beware.

                                                                 Cheers,
                                                                 Erich
