while i don't really think MS lied..
...the PR statement MS made is not a legally binding statement and they are not required to be truthful. the US is protected with free speech and just recently a politician's right to lie about a faked military service backgroud was upheld in the supreme court as protected free speech. There are very few things that are legally required to be truthful: court room testimony (perjury) and financial records are two of them. PR statements are not.
