*sigh* All too damned true.

:-/ Ayep.  That's the problem with the "Big Lie"... Microsoft is engaged in
a propaganda war, and they don't have any significant opposition.  Sure,
there are a few resistance fighters here and there... but not an organised
resistance force, producing counter propaganda.

I do tell people as often as I can about the failures of Microsoft, its
complete lack of ethics, and its lack of quality of design, and so on, but
it's an uphill battle against the Micro$oft Ministry Of Information.

They've got a *horribly* effective propaganda machine, and they're *quite*
willing to let it have a free hand to say and do whatever it likes.  That's
a worrisome thing.

Later,
