Microsoft does it again

From NewsForge.

Bill Gates' Microsoft caught in a bald-faced lie about HD DVD-ROM discs.

As a commenter duely noted, Microsoft spreading FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) and providing inferior solutions is not really news. What I find fascinating is that people continue to use a product made by a company that blatantly lies to their faces.
If it was any other kind of product, people would switch.

I guess the reigning ignorance of the average Joe User has a lot to do with this. Most people not only do not know they are being lied to, they additionally do not know they have options outside of Microsoft.

This is why people need to be educated about freedom and taught about their options.
