Windows 7 memory usage critic outed as fraud

Fred Flowers writes: /.ers will remember a couple of stories in the past few days about Devil Mountain Software's finding that Windows 7 consumes too much memory. The original story quoted the company's CTO, Craig Barth on the issue. Now, InfoWorld editor in chief Eric Knorr has still more to add. From Knorr's blog at InfoWorld.com: 'On Friday, Feb. 19, we discovered that one of our contributors, Randall C. Kennedy, had been misrepresenting himself to other media organizations as Craig Barth, CTO of Devil Mountain Software (aka exo.performance.network), in interviews for a number of stories regarding Windows and other Microsoft software topics...There is no Craig Barth". Knorr's post goes on to say that Kennedy has been fired from his blogging gig at InfoWorld over this 'serious breach of trust', and that his blog will be removed. Is this a victory for the integrity of traditional media vs. bloggers or just another sad data point in the ongoing debate over the future of journalism?
