They call it rebranding, I think, but it's part of a pattern where
terminololy is spun and facts are being hidden, just like their division,
which they merge to confuse investors (saving face). Crashes are a
feature... contradictions in OOXML are not really "contradictions",
"Vista-ready" means it can boot into Basis Edition...
The list goes on and on. Are they trying to buy the consumer's trust in this
way?
