Isaac Mao slams Microsoft

And boy does he slam them hard.

The story is in Wired. Here's the first paragraph:

SHANGHAI, China -- Twenty-eight floors above the traffic-choked streets of China's most wired city, blogger and tech entrepreneur Isaac Mao sums up his opinion of Microsoft and its treatment of the Chinese bloggers with one word. "Evil," says Mao. "Internet users know what's evil and what's not evil, and MSN Spaces is an evil thing to Chinese bloggers."

Ouch.

Hats off to Microsoft's Robert Scoble, by the way, for admitting he was wrong over the weekend. A lesser man would not have had the guts.

I don't know if admitting wrongdoing is gutsy anymore. It just may be damage control.
