Microsoft caught rigging ZDNet poll

Jan 10 2002
Microsoft caught rigging ZDNet poll in support of .NUT. It really is beautiful when they suffer from the use of their own products:

"Several of the voters evidently followed a link contained in an email, the subject line of which ran: "PLEASE STOP AND VOTE FOR .NET!" We know this, because our logs include the Web address where visitors browsed from; when people click there from a Microsoft Exchange email message, Exchange helpfully gives us the subject line and username."
