GTA IV: Killing the Xbox 360, Boosting the PlayStation 3

| If Peter Moore were still at Microsoft, I have a sneaking suspicion he'd be
| seeking out a tattoo-removal specialist. Because today, that enthusiastic
| showing two E3s ago that his "mission" was "accomplished" now looks like a
| 20-something inking the name of a one-night-stand on his bicep.

This person from Barron's was accused of possibly shilling for Microsoft. He
reposts that same stuff everywhere (see below).

| That particular story about how Microsoft was still a growth stock was dated
| July 26, 2004. Between then and now, it bears mentioning, Microsoft's stock
| price has been stuck in the mud, barely budging in a market that has flown
| to the heavens.
|
| But a horrid call, even made twice, is forgivable. What got me was that
| somewhere else in my steel trap of a mind was the memory of yet a third big
| bullish profile in Barron's by Savitz about how Microsoft was, uh -- hey,
| you're really catching on here -- still a growth stock! That was
| titled "Pointing Up," from a bit over a year ago, April 3, 2006.
|
| The Business Press Maven has a couple of concerns here. These articles appear
| written from the same template, without enough new information to merit such
| repetition, especially this latest one.
|
| Stop the presses! A company stated publicly that it was still relevant! It is
| overkill, boosterism. Microsoft has a public relations department that takes
| care of that; it does not need outside help.
