Somehow, I suspect the participants here will be far better informed than 
Ziff Davis, and will share their discoveries with the rest of us for free.

You even get to discuss your own POV and conspiracy theories.

If it were free it would be useful, but otherwise it's just a waste of 
time. If you want to find recent Microsoft articles just make a daily
check on:-

http://www.watchingmicrosoftlikeahawk.com

and save yourself $400 per year.

Besides who wants to make a contribution to a company who, more than any 
other over the last decade, have hyped up Microsoft at every opportunity 
and helped make them the ruthless illegal monopoly they are today?
