If your point is that I should have said "FUD" instead of "Troll" then that may be valid. But as I see it, anyone who deliberately spreads FUD is probably trolling. That may or may not fit your definition.
WE, as the readers of these articles, and the posters of them on sites like this need to take some responsibility for the dissemination of information here. In my opinion, this article was parrotted without critical consideration by the poster, as his title is misinformation regarding the content of the article and therefore his post.
If he had posted a title such as "Potential Vulnerabilities Found in MONAD beta", then he would have been accurately reflecting the true nature of the story. ZDNet is about MAKING MONEY, not informing anyone about anything. If you don't read their articles, they don't get the ad revenue. So they will title the article anything they can to get you to read it. Since they refuse to title these stories accurately, how are we to know if this is a really useful article to read? After all, by putting Vista in the title, we all read it. How many of us would have read it if it didn't and only mentioned Monad? Clearly, only those ten people using Monad. They make no money that way. So, don't help them spread FUD. Call them on it. I do.
If you post, post accurately. Don't just be a parrot. That's just my OPINION and my two cents. I don't mean to slight the poster personally. I'm sure he/she had the best of intentions. But it did serve as a perfect example of the kind of FUD spreading that "technology sites" seems have turned into these days, so I pointed it out. Hopefully, no one took this personally. My apologies if you did.
