I For One Welcome Our New Google Overlords

| Expect trouble in the US!
| 
| You will be thwarted. Microsoft owns too much of the US government for you 
| not to be harassed. So don't worry about the US market. Remember, the Metric 
| system caught on everywhere else but the US, too. The US will be your 
| toughest market, even without bought-off senators and officials throwing 
| themselves in your way like salmon.    
| 
| Ignore the siren song of asstroturfers!
| 
| Don't be stupid like a few other open source projects and listen to the 
| thousand flaming trolls in a comment page - they are paid to derail you. 
| Google, you have done very little wrong so far; what market share you've 
| acquired, you've earned fair and square. Don't start doubting yourself now.

"Gates' gimmick of becoming a philantropist repeats the Rockefeller scam almost
one to one a century later."

Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears

,----[ Quote ]
| But, that said, Digg admits that group of users-say Microsoft employees,
| partners, and supporters-can "abusively bury content." I'd add, not
| just 'can, but do.'

Editor's Note: Users Are Not As Stupid as the FUDsters Say

,----[ Quote ]
| Some of the grumpiness comes from the endless torrents of anti-Linux FUD,
| propaganda, misinformation, astroturfing, and just plain whining that keep
| pounding on the same theme: that Windows is easy, Linux is hard, and
| expecting computer users to spend more than eight or fifteen seconds in study
| is a sin. It has never been true that learning to use a personal computer is
| easy; that is a plain lie. Conversely, it's not that hard.

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?

,----[ Quote ]
| The author of the email, posted on ZDNet in a Talkback forum on the Microsoft
| antitrust trial, claimed her name was Michelle Bradley and that she
| had "retired" from Microsoft last week.
|
| "A verbal memo [no email allowed] was passed around the MS campus encouraging
| MS employee's to post to ZDNet articles like this one," the email said.
|
| "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.'
| The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period.
| The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify
| ourselves as students," the author claimed.
