News flash: Microsoft lied
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" --Claude Rains, CasablancaI'm a little late in getting to this item, but I recently came across James Plamondon's online confession that he lied while working as a technology evangelist for Microsoft (link).
