Most folks have seen those commercials Apple has been running about switching over from Microsoft. Sharp, personal stories and alittle cheesy but they sell, because those people are real folks. Microsoft notices them. In their typical, anything you can do we can do better mentality they start a similar line of testimonials. Just one minor problem. It's marketing PR without real people. So slashdot folks look into the campaign and realize where the pictures came from and that they have nothing to do with real testimonals. BUSTED It could have been any company potentially, I am sure others have done it before, I mean it's not like lying on accounting practices. The issue is people don't trust Microsoft, especially in the slashdot community. So it's one more nail in the coffin. Fool me once, ha ha on you, fool me twice ha ha on me. People have been fooled, they know better and it makes Microsoft's future sketchy at best. It took nearly two years for any companies to sign on with .Net. Yes, Microsoft will continue to dominate the market in the short-term, but you fool people and they learn not to trust, why bother? Next time, try honesty and perhaps some real people. I don't know anyone who would voluntarily use XP over OSX, but there have to be some. Assume your customers are fools and they make you look like one as they leave you laughing.
