Hi,
Slander is a strong word to use. Had these qualified as slander, MSFT
wouldn't have sat tight for so long and give these "slanderers" an open,
playing field. As a matter of the list available at the URL mentioned by
Russell was posted on Linux-India as early as 30th Jan, 1999 --> "Fw: The
M$ Hall of Fame/Shame" by Sandeep Banerjee.
As a matter of fact, here is another response to that thread from
Linux-India:

Cheers,

PS. Get a grip on the reality...I know it can be a little tough after
attending MSFT's Office2K Liveview at the Taj Bengal ;^)

By these pages, I feel some people have made it their full time occupation
to slander Microsoft. Their energy and resource could have been better
spent doing something original for the open source movement. I feel pity
for these people.
