Link: Microsoft PR: Worse than the FBI? : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech.
Microsoft's heavy handed attempted manipulation of tech journalists is the focus of this Christopher Null column. Apparently, Microsoft's PR firm keeps dossiers on journalists that go beyond the typical PR guy's information packet. The one that the column highlights contains strategy for manipulation of the journalist, and insulting comments. Null is a high visibility journalist, and he can't get Microsoft's PR people to return his calls. Why? He has been panning Vista, which is a buggy, broken, DRM ridden operating system, and takes control away from the user. Oops. I guess I won't be getting a Xmas card from Gates universe. Oh well. Put that in my dossier and smoke it.
