A large percentage of his supporters thought he was arrogant as well. The conclusion: the president just got permission to be arrogant during the debate.

Joel;

I think you are correct. If Microsoft gives no answer then they have not committed themselves and can take whatever action they wish at a later date.

No answer leaves us with an ambiguous solution but then so is the EULA. Lots of "arm chair attorneys have the answer". :)
