It was true then (OS/2) and it's true now.

"Some years back, Microsoft practiced a lot of dirty tricks using online
mavens to go into forums and create Web sites extolling the virtues of
Windows over OS/2. They were dubbed the Microsoft Munchkins, and it was
obvious who they were and what they were up to. But their numbers and energy
(and they way they joined forces with nonaligned dummies who liked to pile
on) proved too much for IBM marketers, and Windows won the operating-system
war through fifth-column tactics"
They don't even deny it. Then again, what would you expect from people whose
profile says "occupation: geek". It's propaganda in disguise.
Best wishes,
