Do you think they have the same lattitude to decide how much they'll market and devote web space to .NET ? My feeling is that if they took it upon themselves to NOT promote .NET, someone else would be managing the office in short order. So, I'm also skeptical about what Ken says - I think all of this comes from the top...

Probably not - but you are looking for a fairness argument - and fairness has nothing to do with it. Ken pretty much laid out the issue - he can only advice. i.e. - he cannot strong arm them.

Comparing .NET to Fox is like comparing apples to oranges..

The fact is - whether and to what extent Fox appears on various MS web pages will not affect things one way or the other...

Of course - the self-described delusional rantings of at least one person would beg to differ...< bg >...
