I don't believe any articles whose source is a tech "research firm" any more. The reason is that many of their articles and much of their "research findings" are bought and paid for by someone trying to either sell their product or diss another company's product. To wit, the big scandal in the tech world right now involves Facebook hiring a PR firm to create *exactly* this kind of "spin reporting" about Google. We know about this one only because one of the writers who was approached by the PR firm to write negative articles about Google asked who was asking him to do this, and when the PR firm refused to tell him, found out for himself. Ooops, big PR nightmare for Facebook. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/12/facebook-google-pr_n_861165.html What I'm suggesting is that Pyramid Research's opinion about this may be their legitimate opinion, or it might be an opinion that was bought and paid for by Microsoft. Chances are you'll never know.
