Did I say just the ads have a MS slant?  I saw the MS slant in the 
articles and editorials too.

I hope you're talking to the original poster who is already 
subscribing.....as I said I subscribed to the magazine for 2 years.  I 
still periodically look at LM on the magazine shelf to see if the 
magazine has changed.  As usual, when I put the magazine down, I feel 
like I have to wash my hands immediately (especially after reading that 
hateful to Linux back page editorial).
