[ale] One less fudster for Microsoft to depend on

[Geoffrey]

Forrester Research Inc. has changed its policy toward vendor-sponsored 
research following last month's publication of a controversial Microsoft 
Corp.-funded study that compared the cost of developing applications on 
Linux and Java to a Microsoft-based approach.

The policy change was announced in a letter written by George Colony, 
the CEO of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, company, and posted to the 
Forrester Web site late last week.

"We will no longer accept paid for, publicized product comparisons," 
Colony said in an interview. "The best example of that would be the 
Microsoft report."
