Does this smell like new tactics ? Embrace and conquer ? Just one week 
ago we had a very very softy all-embracing Microsoft chap trying to get 
me into 'trying' their software; while the lackeys were doing their job 
in the hall.

Now, they embrace hackinthebox, send an 'important' keynote speaker. 
Dialogue ? Beware ! 'Lancing' a story through trusted channels that 
their product was endorsed at hackinthebox. Only, they fail to add that 
it was endorsed by their own developer, during a keynote speech.

Is this a right perception ? Did Joe Foss at the conference really plead 
to drop Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Safari and load Crossover to run IE ? 
Because this is what the message implies.
