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.
That Microsoft relies on blackmail, bribes and harassment (even against its own people) isn't surprising given the roots of the company and its toxic, deceitful management
OpenSource.org has been dormant for 4 weeks already and OpenSource.net last had a new page 9 months ago (it'll be 9 months tomorrow) [...] That's IBM in a nutshell

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