"I'm a huge fan of guerrilla marketing."

--Joe Wilcox, Microsoft fan & Microsoft Watch editor

WE wrote about Microsoft's guerrilla marketing a couple of weeks ago, VMware being a recent example of a victim [1, 2]. To Microsoft, guerrilla marketing is not an exception; it's the company's policy, which also led to coordinated attacks on PlayStation 3 launch parties across the world. This merciless and insensitive attitude made some children cry at the time. They were fans of the PlayStation and they were unaware of Microsoft's typical business ethics.

According to The Register, Microsoft is doing it again, trying to rain on a competitor's parade. The timing is no coincidence, as we explained last week.
