I once left a comment in Jeff Jones' blog. It was polite, but he intercepted
it. You can always be sure that Microsoft is arrogant to stick its fingers in
its ears. About publications, A month ago I wrote an article with a paragraph
about Microsoft admission that it should ignore industry standard. The editor
intercepted that whole paragraph. Microsoft is among the advertisers by the
way..
