   No, no no... Microsoft had the page on its Web site then took it down 
after the problem was uncovered. It's on the Google cache now because 
Google temporarily stores everything it indexes. There for everyone to 
see - Google helps make companies honest.

  "Even as a longtime critic of the company, I must admit that
   Microsoft occasionally flirts with the truth. Well, perhaps 'flirt'
   is too strong a word. Let's just say Microsoft sometimes honks and 
   waves as it drives by her house."
