So far I'm pretty sure no one has.... Why keep keep trotting out that canard? Who would think that folks would keep claiming attacks have occured?
Wondering aloud about something that is perfectly plausible and that is not improbable, is not attacking. Accurately describing (and the description does have to be accurate) is not attacking.
Implicit in Pavan's comments are a sentiment very similar to what I expressed. To wit: I suspect that he is delighted by all of Microsoft's efforts to inspire students. Other efforts, well... not so much delight. He can correct me if I am wrong.
It is (almost) suprising how much folks talk "past" each other in this thread.
