It's just so apropos that this story appears with a Microsoft "Get the Facts" ad in the middle of the page. I don't buy the "editorial and ad sales staffs operate independently" bit. It's a lame excuse that only says "it is this way" without explaining why it should be.
The ads are random, the first time the page loaded it did have the GtF ads on it, now it has HP ads. From casual observation of the mostly linux site I frequent about half the ads seem to be GtF ads so it's hardly surprising they appear with this story. And you can't criticise them for accepting the ads as they are a business and need to make money.
