Op Wired vandaag het nieuws dat er verdachte postings zijn opgedoken in newsgroups die de mening van het algemene publiek zouden moeten bijsturen.
A message posted to a discussion forum on computer-trade site ZDNet and purporting to be from a former employee, accuses the company of urging employees to post fake comments supporting the company's side in the ongoing Microsoft antitrust trial. "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.' The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period. The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify ourselves as students," the author claimed.
Microsoft ontkent natuurlijk alles.
