I Shot the Woolly Mammoth

Some Microsoft staff I met this week have tried to tell me that the software giant has changed its ways. But this item - describing how the company was forced by a South African court because its claims could not be justified - proves otherwise. "In their ruling the ASA highlighted the fact that documentation submitted by Microsoft was not 'evaluated by a person/entity, which is independent, credible, and an expert in the particular field to which the claims relate'." This is not the first time less than credible studies have been cited by Microsoft, and I have no doubt it won't be the last. If you're secure, great. If you're not secure, don't run advertisements purporting to prove that you are.
