Dave Winer posted earlier this week about the announcement coming from Microsoft about RSS support in IE 7, even explaining that he had permission to post the information.

Well, Paul Thurott wasn't happy about it, but he's got it wrong from what I can see. He says Dave violated his NDA, which, even according to what Paul quotes, isn't true. And Paul says Dave got his information "through other channels" but I don't see Dave saying that anywhere. In fact, Dave says he got his info from Microsoft's RSS Team.

I'm not sure who's right here, but my guess is Dave that is - and that's mainly because Paul hurts his own credibility with his own quotes. I know there's a lot of "anti-love" for Dave, and some may be justified, but this at least appears to be completely un-called for. Dave's right to call for a retraction.
