    Choice of advertising...

    I'm definitely noticing the surplus of microsoft advertisements on this site. As much as I dislike seeing pretty much any pro-microsoft statement, I have to chuckle at the thought that MS is paying to advertise on a linux oriented site. I mean, the corporate behemoth is basically paying for its competitors tech support.

    So did this just sort of happen, or was the irony carefully planned?

    or am I just over thinking things again?

    I block adverts anyway, so if they're paying it's for nothing at this end.

    Advertisement, here?


    No really? :S


    Heheh... The irony is now complete, M$ pays for advertisements I don't see, just as I've paid them for an OS I don't use.

    EDIT: Aw man! Spend 'bout 3 minutes just turning off all my blocks, and now internet is just like it is at work...

    Same here. Between Adblock and NoScript my internet is generally squeaky clean.
