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.
The bottom line is, never made the false assumption that because you can pile up SLAPPs in a docket you will not suffer from bad reputation or even get disbarred
