Microsoft Silently Backs Favorable Presentation at RSA
lildogie writes "Two researchers, from the Florida Institute of Technology and Boston-based Security Innovation Inc., 'surprised the audience at a computer-security convention last month with their finding that a version of Microsoft Windows was more secure than a competing Linux operating system' according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. 'This week, the researchers released their finished report, and it included another surprise: Microsoft was funding the project all along.' When will they ever learn?"
People will say whatever you want if you give them lots of money? Impudence!

Who modded this troll? Does Microsoft pay to mod down anti-fud too?
You guys are too skeptical. So MS paid for the study that found them to be safer. That doesn't mean a thing. Seriously, give up the paranoia and trust your fellow human beings for a change. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to draw up plans for a toll both. A nice fellow in a trenchcoat just sold me the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
I think GP was saying "who modded this 'troll'". On slashdot, you always have to look really hard to see punctuation :P ...
