Microsoft Bribing Bloggers With Laptops

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-where's-mine dept.

Slinky writes "According to at least six bloggers, Microsoft has been sending out free top-of-the-line laptops pre-loaded with Vista as a 'no strings attached gifts'. This 'reward' for their hard work on covering tech in general is coincidentally right before the launch of Vista to consumers. To be clear, these weren't loans, they were gifts, and they were top-of-the-line Acer Ferrari laptops. Microsoft blogger Long Zheng broke the silence over the source of the freebies."

    Typical Slashdot response of bitterness and how they copied them by giving out free laptops.

    No other PC laptop comes close to the thinkpad.

    That's one helluva good technical and logical analysis, dude. Slashdot at its finest!
