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
