Enderlie and Microsoft Shills 'Busy' in the Press

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm personally against linking his articles because he writes a lot about
Microsoft's #1 threat while it's a fact that Microsoft is one of his clients
(i.e. Microsoft pays him). His writings offer no disclosure about it. In fact,
comparing Linux users to 9/11 'zealots' is where the man went too far.

Microsoft is nervous. The mouthpieces are busy, which is indicative. Analysts,
so-called consultants slash journos, USENET Munchkins...

Microsoft knows it's losing this Slog^TM.
