Where does he say M$ is /not/ responsible for any of it? Not saying it
/is/ doing anything. But what you show doesn't prove or suggest it
isn't.
Do you:
a) have proof M$ wasn't involved in it?
b) have evidence that Roy did *not* read elsewhere (as he stated) that
M$ was involved?
Or is this just some more of your distorting and twisting (some would
say "shilling" or "weaseling") of the truth?
Oh, and you "conveniently" left out the part just before that, where he
mentions that he believes M$ was responisble for *some* problems. He
just didn't implicate them in this particular one.
Maybe because he was afraid of even more problems. Maybe not.
