We knew in 2007 that they set aside 1 Billion to sort out RROD. Now, 2 years later, that 1 Billion has been exceeded, and proves that the money they set aside was inadequate.

What needs to be "proved" here? :P MS estemated that repairing their systems would cost a billion dollars, it exceeded that so now they're forking over more money.  It's like you take your car in for repair they estimate the damage, it can exceed that, the billion dollars they set aside was an educated guess on how much it would cost so really what was proven here?  That a guess can be wrong?

We knew that it has already exceeded the 1 billion mark.....
