this article http://powerelectronics.com/power_man...index.html show that a switcher gives less VCC noise than a linear regulator.

What you mean is, a well-designed, appropriate switcher can be less noisy than a linear regulator

YES, I know that you may be able to find a noiser switcher, and, maybe, a quiter linear, but at least, the "a linear supply is always quiter than a switcher" is disproven.

Quite so.

It's like the good ol' assembly-vs-C chestnut - it's more about how well (or badly) the tools are used than one giving inherently "better" (sic) results than the other...
