I never looked at his entire submissions 'profile' at all, but I know what I
see when I go through the technology section and subsections. I also
remember what comments I see (and rarely respond to). If a company buys
people's love, it is natural to assume that it'll become a reciprocal
relationship. While Microsoft does not perceive this as inadequate, it sure
tells you how much you can trust the media... and more latterly... bloggers
as well! Even citizen journalists are being bought. What are we left with?
Heasay? Or those Microsoft certified professionals who phone companies and
warn them about the 'hobbyists' software'?
