Seriously tho how fucking stupid is the entire microsoft staff top to bottom? How can everyone's first response to this announcement be "well this fixed a problem that didn't exist" while everyone at Microsoft was either like, "yeah great job" or "yeah this will totally smoke screen the attention away from us fixing the actual problem for the 25th year in a row." Fuck all things Microsoft. I'm so sick of their fuckin shit.

I think everyone at MS understand this is all BS. I am sure you have some true believer types, but I will speculate they are minority.

That being said, I will speculate that the people doing this research may have good intentions (while recognizing that this a small part of the problem).
