This is an interesting case study of what I call a "backdoor story." (Yes I know, it is a dumb name... best I could come up with at the moment.)
Semantics aside, it is interesting because this was at the top of my Yahoo News! It directly impacts an important company (Microsoft) in one of its key issues (open source) yet the story didn't originate in the US, it came from Brazil.
No story is regional anymore. Although this is a story written in Brazil, about the Brazil market which is way different than the US market, it directly impacts the perception of who is winning the OS war, Microsoft or open source.
