Microsoft lies about "Switching Mac users"...

First...

www.microsoft.com/insider/opsystems...en&ie=UTF-8

A URL that no longer exists? Here...have the google cache of it:

http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cach...en&ie=UTF-8

Why doesn't it exist anymore? Because Microsoft got caught in a lie. A lie about fabricating stories of users who have switched, like the popular Mac Switching campaign. How do we know this? Well...

code:
http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/search/detail.asp?source=searchResults&imageIndex=11& hdnSync=%22Caroline+Woodham%22%7E0%2C12%2C449%2C3% 2C15%2C1%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C12287%2C0%2C7%2C0%2C0%2C0%2 C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2Cen%2Dus%2C1%2C%22Caroline+Woodham %22%2C114%2C145%2C1%2C&hdnCurrPage=2


Microsoft, marketing through direct research. "We know what people want." And, if they don't, they just make it up.

I'm always interested in seeing Microsoft do things worth heckling. None of your links lead to anything interesting.

The links led to nothing.

From the google link:
"Your search - cache:JmwQcVoG-ucJ:[url]www.microsoft.com/insider/op systems/windowsxp_setup.asp windowsxp_setup.asp - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "jmwqcvog".

The other one said,"Image not available for this region" and "Download not available".

Forum edit functions have screwed me, again. I think you should try clicking the links one more time.

The first one should be a microsoft 404.
The second one is a working cache of the 404, before it was a 404.

Why is it that all user testimonial on corporate sites read like a script?
