Once again, Dan's replacement refers to the software as geeky. He used other
stereotypes that appeal to white-collar journalism. They still try to make it

Remember that Forbes was used by Microsoft to launch an IP FUD attack in May
("Microsoft Takes on the Free World", with deliberate drama added).
