Actually, I believe that they only phoned subscribers located on 'Redmond' campus. This way they could say that they had no bias. The poll has turned out exactly like IW wanted - only MS wins. After all, they are footing the bill. For the next farce, er, poll, it would be nice to at least put the products in the proper catagories. This way the results would be more believable..? Maybe not....
