But Intel whined and Microsoft caved into Intel's whining about their profits for the quarter. Who's the bad guy here, MS or Intel? I'd say Intel.

The 1st link is a full reprint of the Evangelism is War "brochure" by James Plamondon at MS. The second link is a PDF of the same thing. It's in the form of an article of evidence from the Comes v. Microsoft court case, made available to the public. (The base URL is the main page of downloadable evidence from the case.) I don't know what "vetted" press is. It's more dependable than court evidence? A survey a few years back found that 52% of newspaper articles were press releases. The NYT serves its advertisers, just like most mainstream media. They'll criticize the power brokers if necessary, but only in cushioned prose. That's why they're the *mainstream* media. They don't report the news. They document and reflect what the mainstream mind believes. If they were to veer very far into straight facts they'd be viewed as radical -- no longer mainstream. But clearly that's all beside the point. You obviously don't want to know what information might exist that throws a poor light on Microsoft. OK. Then I guess we should get back to real issues and drop the silly gossip.....Do you think Obama's birth certificate is real? :)

I can almost picture you with a stalk of dry grass in mouth, leaning against a deglossed 60's pickup, rifle in the back window rack, tired old mutt lounging in the bed.... But mainly I was just noticing how you rarely need more than one line to make your point. I should probably take lessons. (And I know there are those here who would second that idea. :)
