Nice Link

Hehe I knew Microsoft is pathetic, and their website a out-of-control blobby monster, but this is a welcome surprise indeed ;-)

M$ Rigging polls?!

January 10, 2002

Found a little article on zdnet that describes how their poll on Java vs .Net shifted suddenly in favour of .Net

Curiously most of the votes originated from the microsoft.com domain.. A lot of them tried to vote double… and zdnet was able to find out that some people followed a link in an e-mail (exchange system), the subject line and e-mail address of the ‘voter’ ended up in zdnet’s logs.

They also say to have evidence of an automated voting system that could have been running

Very nice read
