| During the 1990s, I was the director of corporate communications at
| Ziff-Davis. And our relationship with Microsoft was also -- ah -- "complex."
| On the "church" side of Ziff-Davis, our 400 editors and reporters wrote
| comparative, lab-based, product reviews that treated Microsoft "without fear
| or favor," like any other vendor. On the "state" side of Ziff-Davis,
| Microsoft bought a ton of advertising in our magazines, on our websites and
| for our cable TV channel. Plus, Bill Gates was a frequent keynote speaker at
| our conferences, and Microsoft paid a chunk of money for big booths at our
| trade shows.

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?

| 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.
