You can <a href="http://www.forbes.com/home/technology/2005/09/12/microsoft-management-software_cz_vm_0913microsoft.html" rel="nofollow">view it here</a>.

I think your assessment is spot on. It's almost entertaining to flip the televion on or sift through an actual newspaper to see content that's been floating around the net for weeks.
