One thing I can suggest is a good read between the lines in that article. If you do better than skim you&#8217;ll catch that ZDnet is actually making the same point. You won&#8217;t get it from the headline, nor just reading a few sentences, but the overall message is everyone hated Vista and loves Windows 7. Though they are nearly the same! Unfortunately it&#8217;s the headlines that a big portion of society base their opinions on. Shame on you ZD, you know that. Based on a sample of the comments it&#8217;s pretty obvious most of them didn&#8217;t really read it either.<\/p>\n<p>FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) &#8230; PROPAGANDA. Don&#8217;t be lemmings, if you see a\u00a0provocative\u00a0headline dig deep or ignore it altogether but don&#8217;t rush to Tweet or update Facebook. That only adds to the problem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some men relate what they think, as what they know; some men of confused memories, and habitual inaccuracy, ascribe to one man what belongs to another; and some talk on without thought or care. A few men are sufficient to broach falsehoods, which are afterwards innocently diffused by successive relaters.<\/p>\n<p>It is more from carelessness about the truth, than from intention of lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.&#8221; &#8211; Samuel Johnson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Example #1:\u00a0Is Honeycomb Android&#8217;s Vista?
