Summary: Microsoft is rather stressed about Eric Lundgren coming out of prison and telling how Microsoft put him there; right now Microsoft is mostly name-calling while seeking to control public dialogues

LAST week I was deeply disgusted to see Microsoft staff (they admitted so) defaming Eric Lundgren and overrunning a comments thread regarding his case. This was done in a post citing the parts of the series we had covered by that point, namely:

Overview

• Part 1: Microsoft's Legal Attacks on Eric Lundgren Demonstrate There's No 'New' Microsoft Except a Super-Vicious, Law-Twisting Thug



• Part 2: Microsoft Windows Puts Recyclers Like Eric Lundgren in Prison and Patients Six Feet Under the Ground



• Part 3: Microsoft Put an Innocent, Heroic Man in Prison. Then Microsoft Ran Away.

Microsoft's Declaration of War on Recyclers

• Part 4: Microsoft Being Microsoft, Bullying Everyone Who Reduces Microsoft's Profits



• Part 5: Microsoft's War on the Right to Repair (One's Own Computers) Makes Lundgren an 'Enemy' to Microsoft



• Part 6: Damage Control Mode: Satya Nadella Fleeing Lundgren After Realising What Microsoft Had Done



• Part 7: Slander and Libel From Microsoft (Demonising the Victim)



• Part 8: The Eric Lundgren Case and Similar High-Profile Plea 'Bargains' (Aaron Swartz and Marcus Hutchins)

There are more parts on the way. We have not yet published the legal documents (it may take time). We have not yet shown the work he was doing (Microsoft lies about it in the most insulting of ways).

We don't want to link to or quote Microsoft's comments, but it certainly seems like dedicated Microsoft staff that spent hours writing comments, all of which basically reducible to character assassination and distortion of facts. We actually foresaw that, knowing how damaging the case had been to Microsoft, especially because media picked it up and explained it. Microsoft then started threatening the media -- a subject we'll come to later (we're familiar with ways Microsoft accomplishes such censorship as we covered examples of that). ⬆
