And all those who not much more than two weeks ago who said that that would never happen are suddenly complaining about something else!

What's forgotten here is that this didn't happen today - it's been out there for a long time now. And has it made any difference?...not that I can see.
Touting it as a momentous statement is wrong.

And finally, again, no one said that not even that would happen. What they said was that there was serious doubt that any marketing would be done in either the non-VFP community spots (especially IS management oriented publications) or within MS itself.

Cheers
