WAY too funny!

newletter article. This week's relates how M$ got caught in a lie -- 
right on their homepage!

The link to Google's cached copy of the page that is linked at the bottom

1. From the Desk of David Pogue: A New Microsoft Blunder
========================================================

People accuse Microsoft of devious tactics all the time. 
Microsoft generally denies the accusations -- after all, 
they're flanked by the best lawyers that money can buy.

This week, though, Microsoft gave itself a big, goopy pie in 
the face. On Oct. 9, the company posted a testimonial on its 
Web site called "Confessions of a Mac to PC Convert." It was 
a first-person account by a "freelance writer" about how she 
had fallen in love with Windows XP. She compared the 
operating system to a Lexus. "I was up and running in less 
than one day, Girl Scout's honor," burbled the attractive, 
20-something brunette in the photo.

There was only one problem: She doesn't exist.
