Vista in the Dragon's Den!
Blog When we originally found out that Bill Gates was going to be in town ZDNet UK was obviously keen to be there but for some reason the Microsoft PR people were keen that we weren't. It’s a consumer launch we were told so a business focused...

Tech Review, anyone?
Talkback Yes, most folks at this point know Apple has wanted to translate the stranglehold they have over their own (fairly-limited) market since the beginning, despite Jobs' ongoing PR attempts. And journalism is supposed to be fairly impartial, even in...

SCO keeps disputed code secret
Talkback Has the author studied the record of SCO's public statements on PR and in the court records? Has the author of this report bothered to check the transcript of the hearing on Dec. Ah! I thought not. Get to work!

Learning to spell
Blog But the PR folks at Thus, the telco, were probably a bit too quick off the mark last week when they told us about their new 'sweet' of security services. Here at ZD Towers we're used to getting all manner of cocktails of various 'solutions' that...

Longhorn lowdown: What's up?
Talkback Try getting journalists to write this stuff, instead of PR people who blindly insert terms they don't understand. Who wrote this crap? Using an abbreviation like 'WinFS' with no explanation of what this means is less than useless.

Google's first and last euro press day?

Attackers take down SCO site again
Talkback I wish ZDnet reported would do some checking, i think it was proved that the "attacks in August" were bogus, and they'd taken the servers down for "maintenance" or a "PR stunt" and it looks the same again

Longhorn: If they build it, will anyone come?
Talkback You might as well say that "an MS PR company said. Why use the DiDiot as a quote in any article? It is well known that the "Yankee Group" is a mouthpiece for Microsoft. Yankee are about as independant of MS as the Inland Revenue are independant of...

More cloud tales - what happens on rainy days?
Blog Right now, that's an elephant with plenty of PR - with the basic mechanisms of corporate finances failing, there's little confidence that even the most assiduous can pick a company with a guaranteed future.

Open source community wooed by Microsoft
Talkback This is another bit of PR nonsense. All Microsoft's actions since 2001, have been nothing but "smoke and mirrors". They only play the open-source card because they know they have no choice. And its a recent tactical change.

Microsoft warns Google off enterprise search
Talkback We may think that Google think ahead but maybe they too just have the profile, the money and the PR savvy to just be very quick 2nd movers. Isn't that what everyone thought of Microsoft a decade or so ago?
