  5. From Almost 100% to Just 44%: Microsoft's Bribes to Nigerian Officials Not Enough to Keep GNU/Linux at Bay?
    whatever is truly happening there, it probably gives headaches to Microsoft
  6. Microsoft Propaganda Site: “Speculations Are Rife Regarding the Probabilities of Further Layoffs Being Announced by Microsoft”
    operatives in the media will pretend Microsoft just delivered its best results ever
  7. The Criminals Who Dox People to Their Employer Also Commit Denial of Service Attacks on Those People
