My claim of a lie isn't based on the age of the article, but on Roy "The
Liar" Schestowitz's negative-spin thread title claiming MS was trying to
"sabotage" something. Not only is that a lie, but that magazine was
distributed only to MS Partners - not all PC sellers as his title implies.
If Roy "The Liar" Schestowitz was at all interested in honesty and full
disclosure, the result would be a thread title along the lines of "Microsoft
promotes sales of pre-installed Windows through their Partners". But that's
factual, and thus not a cola-worthy "news" item.
