rbc, baystar,royce, guardian - are they actually bagholders? Or, do they honestly have reason to be very satisfied?
Msft was looking to spend $100M on this little scam. Msft hasn't even given scox $30M. Is the other $70M finding it's way to rbc, baystar, royce, gaurdian? Will we ever know for sure?
I have no doubt that msft is paying a lot of shills to bash linux: enderle, greenberg, and other law firms who write those bogus articles. Not to mention all the bogus TOC "independant" studies. And stuff like AdTI.
This seems to be a new kind of fud, going thought 3rd parties, and msft is playing it up.
IBM's method of fud was bad enough, but ibm didn't do this - as far as I know. I think ibm would just have their reps makes potential buyers feel insecure about buying anything other than ibm. I don't think ibm paid 3rd parties to issue bogus opinions.
