@Stake Makes a Mistake. Security firm @stake made a grave mistake by apparently firing one of its leading security experts following his decision to take part in a study that found Microsoft's desktop monopoly hazardous to good security [Microsoft Watch from Mary Jo Foley] There's a ton of stuff going on around this story. For example, in a Yahoo article linked to from the above piece, the publisher of CIO magazine declined to mail a paid announcment about the study to subscribers claiming the study was too one sided. Now CIO often sends pro-MSFT mailings that are definitely one sided. Obviously the publishers know who's paying the bills. 10:46:06 AM comment []
