  Microsoft  paying  for  the  stuff  is a problem in itself. When analysts come up with reports, in 
  general  people  assume somebody must have paid, but in many cases they don't ask too hard. In the 
  case  of reports favourable to Microsoft, however, there is a general presumption (which generally 
  turns  out  to  be true) that Microsoft must have paid for it. And then, in light of the company's 
  history  of serial duplicity and ham-fisted sponsoring subterfuge, they assume it must be rubbish. 
  So we really can't see why Microsoft should bother.
