Read them. Their writings don't just toe the Microsoft party line; they make patently ridiculous statements so as to do so. What's more, the authors are paid handsomely by Microsoft, and flown all over the country, to present Microsoft's corporate PR party line. Liebowitz, who works at UT Austin, has even instituted courses on subjects such as Web page design which INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDE information on non-Microsoft products and on cross-platform compatibility. In particular, the Web page design course omitted Java and JavaScript, focusing instead on the use of VBScript, ASPs, and FrontPage (which is designed to format content so that it cannot be displayed properly by other browsers. He even placed Microsoft advertisements on University-funded Web pages. In short, he's a Microsoft PR flack -- just as you appear to be. --Brett GLass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
