slashdot didnt exactly put his "feet to the fire" with all the nasty questions about conflicts of interest, potential NDAs about the funding/details, oversight, or any of the other real issues where the source of the funding (seemingly the only reason this research even got any attention here) would have been a serious problem...
How many NDAs did you have to sign before starting the study?
Did anyone pull you asside to "set the record streight" before the study began?
How were you first asked about doing this study? Was it something like "hey, we need a study to boost our TCO stats, here's some cash..." or was it more altruistic like "hey, we need to see how we stack up agaist the competition.. heres some cash, and dont hold any punches!"
