Make gossip? You, sir, are the one making gossip accusing people of 
"black PR" when you have no proof -- also Gates is hardly involved in 
microsoft anymore and I highly doubt he perceives Linux as a threat when 
windows clearly has more and more market share.

False statement? Yes, I can just imagine a PR department scheming:

PR Dude 1: Man, I hate these linux cowboys, how can we piss them off?
PR Dude 2: Oh, I know, let's make some obviously incorrect statements 
about linux's capabilities, that'll really make a whole 5 people angry.
PR Dude 1: Great idea! I can just imagine the bug reports.
-A day later, zbiggy falls for their perfectly crafted "Black PR"-
PR Dude 2: Hah! Told you.

I'm sure it was EXACTLY how it went. Not.

More to the point: I'd be willing to bet, whoever wrote that particular 
phrase is not a linux flash player developer (or even a windows flash 
developer), and probably was told "No we can't do hardware scaling in 
Linux" and thought he meant /Linux/ cannot do it, when clearly the 
developer meant /flash player/ can't.

My overall point about this is everyone that makes these types comments 
are stating them with a *very biased* opinion that someone is doing 
everything intentionally just to stir you or the *nix/open source community.

So, next time you want to say something negative about a company for 
something like this, take a deep breath, take a neutral point of view 
(i.e. pull your head out of your ass), and look at things logically, 
especially when a large company like microsoft or adobe is involved -- 
chances are it's more likely an accident and not intentional.

This just proves it wasn't "black PR," otherwise they would have told 
you to shove off. Do you understand what I'm getting at now?
