     I believe your level of surprise is only because you didn't pay M$
that much attention in the past, because the shameless liars you're
talking about now is the same M$ I've known for several years. 
Nothing's changed, this is vintage M$.  The current level of dishonesty
has been exactly what they've been using for years and has been the
means by which they've gained the marketshare they now enjoy.  Contrary
to popular belief M$ is *NOT* a good company gone bad.  The only
difference today is that more people are beginning to open their eyes
to see what many of us have been warning them about for years.
