It's not exactly a hugely positive story for Microsoft...it's basically them fixing a problem of their making. Don't forget, although the machines only come with 1 year warranty normally....you, by law, can still demand a replacement or in fact your money back...if it breaks down within a reasonable time...and 2-3 years is a reasonable time. Thats why the whole warranties rubbish is a con....you're paying for something that you can realistically get for nothing.
