Hmm. Think you can trust Microsoft after it has been making promises about its "Business Conduct". Here are the lastest scandals while this new "Business Conduct" is in place:
a) Significant weblinks concerning Vista problems have been removed from the open web, amoungst others that "Microsoft admits 'Windows is broken'" and Vista won't include .Net. Older posts on the same websites are still there.
b) It broke to the surface that German computer mags had to allow MS to OK any article on their products before publishing, would refrain from comparing it with compative products when they wanted to include a trail version of Office 2007. Furthermore, they were not allowed to include any FOSS products on the CD like Open Office.
New business conduct, huh..?
