Part of that discussion thread raises the spector of the Msft vs DR
case.  It looked to me like the folks in the thread had dismissed
Microsoft's culpability as patently false.  On the other hand, I have
not forgotten the e-mails I read (part of the case's public records)
where Msft staffers intentionally setup DR DOS for failure.

It would be difficult with a semi-public beta release to claim such an
issue now.  However, Scoble's backtracking doesn't make me feel all
warm & cozy inside.  I will say that we should watch and wait.  Time
nearly always reveals the truth.
