Still more just not getting it...

Ran across this article on NewsForge: http://trends.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/10/01/1548246&from=rss

While I like the way this is reported, I noticed the discussion of the article has the usual mix of likes and dislikes. It is the arguments of the dislikes that bother me the most. Time for a clue.

Past unethical practices of a company, especially a continuous pattern of unethical practices, is worth reporting. It tells you something about the company. It tells you something about the level of trust you should give/have of said company. In the case of Microsoft, I am of the opinion that anything and everything they announce should be taken with a ton of salt. This is a company that has announced the intention to create software (vaporware) just to steal the limelight from a competitor, then later buys out said market-depressed competitor to finally have the software MS promised RSN. Who are you going to believe now?
