With Internet Explorer 8 out the door, Microsoft is trying to capitalise on its latest browser release with a marketing campaign outlining several benefits Internet Explorer 8 supposedly has over Chrome and Firefox. The campaign is titled "Get the facts", so I guess most of you will know what will come.

This is true enough, but it does also mean that Microsoft's claims about firefox will be totally out of date in a few weeks at most.
What is the bet that there is no retraction made on Microsoft's "get mislead about the facts" site? "
Notice that the information is available on their global website; I had a look at the local parts which are maintained by the local divisions of Microsoft - you'll find that the 'get the facts' when it comes to Internet Explorer or Windows versus Linux is conspicuously absent from these local websites.
You won't see them on these local sites because in most countries Microsoft would be held up for deceptive marketing - in other words, lying. Reminds me of link from the New Zealand site which I reported to the Commerce Commission which was nothing short of a blatant lie regarding GPL. Interesting how it was quickly removed.
