Actually, just about every article that I saw stressed this very clearly.
This time, for a change, the mounthpiece is shown for what it truly is. The
earlier articles, on the other hand, didn't make that connection very
prominent. It's almost as bad as Get the _Facts_ campaign. Sounds unbiased
and golden, doesn't it? You can even reach that study by googling "linux",
which Microsoft paid a lot of money for.

There's quite a history of Seattle press praising Microsoft. It is, after
all, delivering what the people want. And Microsoft brings a lot of jobs and
wealth to this area (at the expense of everywhere else in the world, of
course).
Best wishes,
