    I think the people discussed in this article live in some kind of upside-down universe where black is white and white is black.

    Strange enough, the Michael Jackson in that universe is exactly as ours.

    ...But I'm sure they'll give equal coverage even to products that are going to be in competition with Microsoft.

    Seriously, who would take seriously a seminar on light programming langauges from the company that has helped to make C++ the de facto application programming language for 10 years? The only light language that I've seen Microsoft push is VBScript. And I think we all know where they can shove VBScript.
