Ah, the joys of forwarded links. <cough>

Most people are capable of reading Slashdot for all their MS hating news, so
why post it here? I'd much rather see pro-linux news than anti-MS. There's
plenty of that elsewhere (as I mentioned).

Anyway, this story has largely been 'retracted' since it has been broken.
