If Microsoft didn't lie every time it opens it mouth to talk about its own
or its rivals products, they might produce more believable benchmarks. But
when MS funds an "independent" study, paper, benchmark, or
whatever, it always turns out to be a sham.  Like the
"grassroots" effort uncovered by the LA Times.

Trust MS to fairly conduct a benchmark?  You have to be out of your fucking
mind to even consider it.  Lying is the only real area of expertise that
you personally and MS as a whole have.
