Actually, that's exactly the definition of 'spreading propoganda.' Both their Dvorak and Microsoft arguments start with a clear agenda and continue with various proof to support their idea.
The difference between science and politics is that in science, you are suposed to start with a hypothesis and test this (impartially) to achieve a result. The point is to reach an accurate understanding.
In politics, you start with a position and try to pursuade others to agree with your idea. The point is to propogandize a belief you hold to be accurate.
Their article is politics, and only pretends to be science. Additionally, this group is receiving money to be Microsoft's lapdancer. So it's not only unscientificly prejusticed, it's whore-ably biased.
