Microsoft FUD Watch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-read dept.

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'm guessing #1 on that list is 'making lists mere moments before posting to Slashdot just to be able to reference the list in the post.'

    Yay! The only thing that can adequately combat Microsoft FUD- Apple FUD!

    Can we go do something else now?

    No one is just "anti-microsoft"- they're either pro-mac, or pro-linux. Anti-FUD is also FUD. It's just as stupid to read. And none of those Microsoft statements were even FUD- just marketing talk from a large corporation. Apple does this kind of crap all the time- as does Novell, or Sun.
