"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.

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!! "
