This isn't the first time I see what appears to be a pro-OOXML blog. Microsoft
has already been caught using astroturf tricks to promote lockin (paid-for
Wikipedia edits, starting a petition in favour of OOXML, calling business to
support OOXML at massive scale, and setting up two pro-OOXML Web site that
pretend to be Microsoft-independent). Let's not even mention the stuff they do
on the political side...

I could not help raising a brow when I saw another 'article' from Microsoft's
magazine. It says that Linux takes lessons from Microsoft by integration and
*gasp* interoperability. These people at Redmond drink some real kool-aid.
