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.


Exactly.

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?

It shows that the problem is even bigger than they initially thought, and the article also points out that a solution STILL hasn't been found.

Well yes, nothing as such needs to be proved. A bad choice of word in this situation. Lets go with "shows us" or "lets us know " . Basically what I was trying to convey ;)

I'd say this information is relevant since it may cause Microsoft to rethink their strategy to release early at all costs with their next home console.

Well that's what the article says.
