Backhanded compliments are always transparent. If you want your blog to have any credibility at all, you might want to consider putting some facts in with your opinion. You might also consider putting more of your own words in a blog post. You seem to have put the other blog's words in your own little wrapper -- hoping to get credit for the ideas.

[MATT'S NOTE: The IP address for this one came from One Microsoft Way in Redmond, WA. Imagine that.]

Notice how so many of these Shills are always Johnny-on-the-spot with their poison-post comments to these Blogs. I think this proves that not only do Microsoft hire people specifically to anonymously Shill, but indeed they seem to have an entire research team working 24/7, scouring the Internet for any negative Microsoft press, and drowning it out with personal attacks.

The Munchkins are back, and this time they're busted!

Those shills

I'm sure (as in believe not have any evidence) that Microsoft do those kinds of things. But if they were trying to be secretive about it when doing in effect as a business action would they really be so careless as to leave a great big label like their IP address attached?

Now an employee specifically with an interest in the story perhaps even working related to it seeing one of these stories yet again and reacting. I can see that. Especially with how easily people become convinced and stubborn over the FACT that they are right.
