Microsoft sure is a big target.

Some may say it is just a technical oversight. I for one believe Microsoft has gobbled up allot of small pieces & parts as they transformed into the giant they are now. The shear resources they have to bring to bare has most certainly overwhelmed the competition. Some they paid for some they didn't.
Good to see them have to bone up for their misdeed or oversight.

On the other hand how many of those pieces and parts would have just faded away into oblivion if not for Microsoft?

Cheers and Merry Christmas
