Trolls and Astroturfers and Shills, Oh My!

,----[ Quote ]
| The question of Linux vs. Windows suckiness riled the blogosphere this week, 
| with fans questioning the drivers behind the perception that Linux isn't 
| ready for the desktop and is only suitable for the technologically superior 
| few. Is it a question of user skill levels or marketing talents?

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?

,----[ Quote ]
| The author of the email, posted on ZDNet in a Talkback forum on the Microsoft
| antitrust trial, claimed her name was Michelle Bradley and that she
| had "retired" from Microsoft last week.
|
| "A verbal memo [no email allowed] was passed around the MS campus encouraging
| MS employee's to post to ZDNet articles like this one," the email said.
|
| "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.'
| The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period.
| The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify
| ourselves as students," the author claimed.
