Sounds paranoid, and of course the dimwit trolls trivialize it, but 
microsoft has a past history of paying people to spread FUD.  There 
was the long ago blatant trolling of Steve Barkto (aka Rick Segal), 
who pretended to be an OS/2 user, but was a microsoft employee who 
attacked OS/2. For over a decade there was (and unfortunately recently
revived), a psycho-troll who called himself the os2guy, who did 
everything he could to attack OS/2, OS/2 developers and OS/2 users. 
This nutcase has now embraced Macs, but that is probably fake as well,
and his intention most likely is to drive people away from the Mac 
groups with his incessant, insane blather.  Just within the past week 
or so an active microsoft employee posting anonymously who was 
unveiled in the comp.os.os2 groups after he posted supporting the long
time anti-OS/2 troll.  He admitted it and said it wasn't important who
he worked for.  See the thread at

Its not just a criminal organization, m$ft is supported by liars.
