Be warned: Daniel Eran Dilger has a reputation for exaggeration and
just making stuff up ... and that's within the Mac community, who
are a bunch of uncritical fanbois :-)

I'm enjoying the reports of the Microsoft/Sidekick disaster as much
as anyone, but most of them blame incompetence rather than sabotage.
