Microsoft has pulled this on many publications.  My favorite is
CMP's Network Computing.  Everytime Microsoft releases a new
Internet service/program, they benchmark it and expose how slow,
insecure and expensive it is compared to other products.  E.g., MS
Proxy Server and MS Internet Security Architecture (ISA) Server.

Sure enough, not a month later it is wiped from their on-line
version.  Although I can usually find "references" to it in other
articles.  ;-P

Makes my life a living hell when trying to prove to people that MS
Proxy and MS ISA are the two worst products you can use.
