The Source has just found this little blooper which suggests that Novell has ghostwriters. We captured more evidence of this before, about 2 years ago. Some of the executives of Novell either do not write their posts or do not write them alone (or use the assistance of technical people to run their blogs, by proxy so to speak). Bill Gates' latest PR charades on the Web are pretty much the same. It's all marketing and part of the branding of "Bill Gates", whose crimes the PR effort is trying to erase with the help of irresponsible reporters. ⬆

Ghostwriting is indeed controversial and AFRIK far from a new topic. If you do a Google search on "ghostwritten blogs", you can find a lot of articles about it.

First link is now broken and second one now works, so Novell execs wasn't ghostwriting.
It seems likely the end of Vista 10 coinciding with a sharp rise in memory prices (and now energy prices) will benefit GNU/Linux and therefore give us more to write about
MinceR says the "lkml [message/page] one is April Fools or at least they're trying to pass it off as April Fools [however] the [GitHub] one was archived on the 8th and yesterday, so that probably isn't..."
Like Scam Altman, Larry Ellison hangs around Cheeto King because he could use some bailouts in the form of government contracts or phony money with an incredible name like "Stargate"
When forums say that they banned Microsoft Lunduke or don't want him mentioned it's probably because they are familiar with the "stench" that follows him around
Summary: New evidence of ghostwriters in Novell's own Web site
