Haha Microsoft!

"This week," writes David Pogue in the New York Times,
"Microsoft gave itself a big, goopy pie in the face. On
October 9, the company posted a testimonial on its Web site
called 'Confessions of a Mac to PC Convert.' It was a
first-person account by a 'freelance writer' about how she
had fallen in love with Windows XP, which she compared to a
Lexus. 'I was up and running in less than one day, Girl
Scout's honor,' burbled the attractive, 20-something
brunette in the photo. There was only one problem: She
doesn't exist." He notes that Slashdot.org unmasked her
picture as a stock library photo and the author as a
public-relations woman hired by Microsoft to write the
story. Microsoft subsequently removed the article from its
website. [Oct 17]

Red Hat needs to do its own switcher ads.

(do you remember the thing with ibm (or intel, i don't
remember) having adobe check if g3s were faster than pentium
as claimed by apple, and adobe discovering that the
difference between the two was even greater than apple
claimed it to be...? :))

I like hearing about Microsofts bad news.....I read this in
a magazine, and liked it!

"Nevertheless, despite rumours pointing to a relatively
early introduction of the new Playstation 3, there have been
murmerings that Sony has been surprised by the relative lack
of retail success that Microsoft have enjoyed with XBOX -
and that this may allow the company to delay the
introduction of its PS3. With Playstation 2 currently
outselling its competitors by some eight times, Sony is
unlikely to make any announcements yet!! "
