Re:Standard tactics for shady companies? (Score 1)

I just can't agree with you statement that you can, with a fair certainty, assume that anyone having good experiences with MS software is paid to do so. All you are doing is assuming the worst, which is fine to do and something I do often, but it's just like saying, "Anyone who says that they've had a good experience with Linux obviously has sour grapes because of the market dominance of MS." While both statements are possible. Neither is very likely. There are a lot of people who have great experiences with [insert whatever company here]'s software even if you don't. I have no connection to MS other that the company I work for writes Win32 software. (And Unix stuff, too, mind you, but no Linux as of yet)
