With CNN, being sort of private and all, I can see why there's place for
bias. With the BBC, on the other hand, to public pays (tax) money in order
to be deceived. No mention of the danger of even touching Vista before
Service Packs; nothing about DRM; nothing truthful about hardware
requirements. Basically, it's like a Microsoft pamphlet/brochure whose
dissemination costs are covered by public money.
