Microsoft is not very good at covering up its own mistakes. Do they really think, they can get away with a note saying This press release has been edited since original publication.? Not in todays world.

The current press release regarding „Microsoft Makes It Easier for Organizations to Transition to Its Unified Communications and Collaboration Platform” reads:

More and more companies worldwide are making the strategic business decision to move to Microsoft’s unified communication and collaboration platform because of its integrated set of capabilities as well as new innovations including support for wikis, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, blogs, social networking tools, unified messaging and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration.

But the original version stated:

More and more companies worldwide are making the strategic business decision to move to Microsoft’s unified communication and collaboration platform because of its integrated set of capabilities as well as new innovations including support for wikis, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, blogs, social networking tools, unified messaging and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration. Microsoft represented 52 percent of the integrated collaborative environments market revenue in 2005, and experienced double-digit growth year over year the two years before (indicating 2004 and 2003), according to analyst firm IDC.

Strange, that they pulled that sentence, as there seems to be no report by IDC on „the integrated collaborative environments market”.

Dear Microsoft, YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE INTERNET. What happens on the Internet/WWW, stays on the Internet/WWW. Period!
