What link? If it's an ad, I wouldn't bother getting my knickers in a twist about it. Those things are all over the place.
It's been pointed out that Microsoft might as well burn their cash for warmth rather than spend it on Linux-oriented sites. They're only helping us when they do it. (Don Marti had some good comments on taking Microsoft's ad money a while back, iirc.)
That said, the LinuxWorld site ain't what it used to be, and I'm not about to defend them. They publish a lot of shit on that site.
