Here is another article on this. I will say that I'm heartened at least that Wiki editor (Rick Jelliffe) offered up this information voluntarily. It could have been possible for him to have taken the money, make the friendly edits, and keep quiet about it.

I respect Mr. Jelliffe for this. At least we all now know that there might be linkage between M$ and Mr. Jelliffe and we now have the ability to make our own judgments about the quality of his entries.

Now, my only question is: How many other Wiki editors has M$ contacted and paid off in order to get good press that have NOT gone public?
