Hi,
I got wind of this story a couple of weeks ago and back then it had a completely different spin.
Old spin..I noticed the old story first at /. but later saw the new spin of the link in the post above in the headlines at Excite.com a few days ago. (Can't find the old story at /. now but the link here reads like the /. story did)
I was curious then that the new story slant was so different. Granted /. is not exactly a bastion of Microsoft sympathizers, but it wouldn't surprise me that Microsoft was able to influence the news media to say what MS wanted them to say.
see ya,
