Here's a story better than any reporter could ever imagine: While working on a story on Microsoft's video blogging initiative (Channel 9) the dossier that Microsoft and its public relations agency Waggener Edstrom had kept accidentally ended up in the email inbox of Wired reporter Fred Vogelstein:
"As journalistic windfalls go this is about as good as it gets. There I was writing a story about how Microsoft is on the cutting edge of using the Internet to become more transparent, and there in front of me are the briefing documents they are using to manage the story. The timing was so fortuitous that I wondered whether it was intentional. When I told Microsoft about it, they convincingly told me it was not."
