Microsoft FUD Watch
rs232 writes "Not a week goes by when Microsoft doesn't manufacture a little fear, uncertainty and doubt about something. Yesterday's financial analyst conference was full of it ... Our approach is simple: We look at who said what and why it's FUD. Lots of companies engage in FUD, and we only single out Microsoft because we're Microsoft Watch"
I think I may have seen a story like that somewhere else on /.
What we need is more stories comparing Linux and Windows, preferablt by someone getting paid by either Microsoft or a Linux vendor, that's another topic that's hardly ever covered here
Pointing out MS FUD is like taking home the drunkest, ugliest girl in the bar. Yah, you did it, but no one is impressed.
There, fixed that for ya! Wouldn't want people to get the impression that Slashdot is "fair and balanced". When you are the #1 source of anti-MS FUD, ya'll gotta represent!!
Keep it real, yo!!
No that's #4. But what you just did was #2 :-) yes I wins! :thumbs up:
I like basketball!!1!
Apparently "FUD" has become the new word for "spin"
Wow, I'm a noob. All this time I thought FUD stood for fucked up data. I need to study this list!
I hope that clears things up!
At least wait for Microsoft to actually do something, you know they will.
Do you really? I mean, could just be FUD, you know...
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
init 11 - for when you need that edge.
Preaching to the anti-Microsoft choir; it's not just for Slashdot karma anymore!

This is as bad as the guy at work that keeps talking about his ex-wife, who he divorced 15 years ago
I didn't divorce her, she divorced ME! Apparantly you listen as well as she does; one time I had asked her to pick up our daughter at soccer practice, as I had a late meeting and I wouldn't be able to get her, and do you know where she went? Do you? She went to the hairdresser! My daughter is standing out at the soccer field in the rain and she is off gettting her hair tinted. Can you believe it?
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
Joe, give it a rest, just let it go, she's gone, she got the house, the car, and she married her best girlfriend. So, you turned her gay, so what?
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
I thought for a minute that MS had released a new product: "The Microsoft FUD Watch". i.e. Something you could strap to your wrist and monitor the amount of FUD present in any particular technology sector at that very instant - as well as being able to tell the time, set alarms etc.
