Hey, it's news remember. What did you expect? The truth? :-)
Personally I think the whole thing is a load of BS. It fits the profile of being a hoax perfectly:
1. It's too well written, meaning, too much information and too many quotes. The author want's to prevent people to search for confirmation.
2. There's no rational explanation for any of the statements. It looks like the author is trying to force M$ to publish real facts.
3. Author phone number at the bottom.
But if it fools 100% of the slashdot readers, then it's probably news enough to be published here too. You people probably want to check out the comments they made:
