AP have a report that captures most of the info at the link at the bottom of the page.

Microsoft is often described as "evil" and accused of dirty tactics. Many people assume that these descriptions are inaccurate and that it's "just business" and competition. Perhaps it is, but when you actually read the internal documents that occasionally come to light you realise that they're hell bent on doing whatever they can to squash rivals. One such collection of material came out of the Comes vs. Microsoft case recently. Now, however, that material is disappearing and public internet archives e.g. WaybackMachine/Archive.org have also "cleansed" their records. The moral?

Senior church members trying to explain the lack of popularity of the little box point to a general confessional culture - people may go online these days and spill their secrets, transgressions and thus feel better. But that's not enough in their eyes. The Holy Spirit isn't on the net. read full story / add a comment
