First of all, talking about Microsoft in a Linux - General forum means you posted in the wrong forum, Microsoft related threads belong in General.

Secondly, this has been discussed literally more than one time.. your not the first, probably won't be the last. Try searching and contribute to the existing threads we still have open for this exact topic.

Don't like this rule we have in place, take it up with the admin but we don't need Microsoft threads all over the forums, especially in the ones dedicated for Linux. To me, bringing it up and bitching about it isn't gonna do a damn thing except repeat what all the others said in the existing threads regarding this topic.. ;)

We even have one thread most recent about their changes to their FUD: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=246696
