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.
Surely if we had properly-functioning media, then someone would investigate this rather than rely on official statements from Microsoft and WARN notices
In the domain of Free software, there are very few sites out there that offer exclusive coverage on community affairs and there are many gagging/censorship attempts

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