I agree, bickering with Microsoft PR is pointless and doesn't benefit us. However, I think it would be foolish to ignore it outright. Microsoft does have the attention of the media, and thus, the general population, and people do tend to believe anything if they hear it enough. I think it would be good to keep the propaganda of Microsoft et al in check, but with moderation, of course.

Yes we should ignore them.

Maybe we could laugh at them at a bit as well.

Later, if things get out of hand, we could fight them.

Oh, um, wait, er, who wins?

Thanks. Great antidote for the tired anecdote.
