Summary: Ziff Davis, a supposedly objective publisher, is publicly promoting Microsoft products for the company's dollars
IT IS NEITHER secret nor news that Ziff Davis is in Microsoft's pocket. We wrote about this a month ago. There are many more examples we could give (e.g. its publication eWeek [1, 2, 3]), but here is a brand new example that a reader sent to us.
See that last line. This is sent as a newsletter to many people and the take-home message is that Windows Vista is a must for security, even though it's provably terrible for security.
If the Web gets polluted or flooded by slopfarms such as these, and Slashdot then sends traffic so these slopfarms (Slashdot probably doesn't do this intentionally), then real writers with real knowledge of GNU/Linux will lose the spark for publishing

Oh, Microsoft's.
E.T. can now phone home with a little more privacy.
