Legitimate media outlet or info-mercial-tainment? That seems to be the question swarming around Microsoft's "10" like so many black flies. 10 is a daily videocast with an unGoogleable name and one has to squint a bit—but not much—to figure out that it's coming direct from Redmond. Hosted by ex-TechTV hosts Tina Wood and Laura Foy, 10 is "for people who want to use technology to change the world" and features videos "highlighting people, their passions and often the technology they are using." Today's video is about indie Internet radio station KEXP, and about one minute in is when you'll hear the testimonial for Microsoft's IIS and SQL Server. No smoking gun, to be sure, but I'm not holding my breath for them to feature some great site built on a LAMP stack. As a side note, if you load the site in Internet Explorer you're served WMV videos, but if you do it in Firefox you'll get H.264. Hmm.
