Exactly (even if the term 'FUD' has become a little diluted). Jon attacked Robert's comments on Microsoft's past as irrelevant to the discussion of the technology, but they certainly are relevant. Even if "almost every software company is guilty of that in some manner or another", Microsoft is in a unique position, given its market penetration, to be much more guilty of this than anyone else. As someone picking a technology for an important project, it would be foolish to ignore this (not that this should control the decision, but it should be considered as a factor).

What worries me is that when MS technology *isn't* good, clients still demand it because MS has FUD'ed them to death.
