>Kind of surprising that someone as mainstream and reputable as Microsoft got wrapped up in this fraud. Wow, people really think there is some magic about corporations 'not doing bad'. You know they are full of regular humans? Kind of amazing. I've seen people say stuff like: "Nooo Apple doesnt Astroturf!". Buddy, Aldi astroturfs, you better believe that the best companies in the world at marketing are astroturfing(or outsourcing it). Its foolish to think they are perfectly moral, but maybe it makes it mentally easier to be a customer/fan to be so idealistic.
