Is Microsoft capable of honesty?

Filed under: Windows - Administrator @ 8:41 am

Interesting article from NewsForge examining the recent war of words between Microsoft an Intel on one side who are supporting HD DVD and HP and Dell on the other supporting Blu Ray. It pretty much damns Microsoft for being duplicitous and twisting facts to suit itself. Now there’s a surprising conclusion, eh!

Microsoft touted the coming of its “all new, all 32-bit” operating system — Windows 95 — for years. But when Chicago finally appeared, it was neither all new nor all 32-bit. A few high-tech journalists of the day — but only a few — were clueful and caring enough to call them on it. Most of the trade press were not competent or brave enough to say otherwise.
