Followup from John @ MSFT
Here is another reason why I love blogs. In my last post, I questioned why two MSFT bloggers had almost identical comments about the XBOX 360. While I wasn't necessarily questioning the authenticity of the statements, it just seemed odd to me that the message would be so similar (without being MSFT-sanctioned).

Well, I got an e-mail from John P. over and MSFT and he explained that he and Major Nelson work closely together and that one post inpsired the other. No company mandate or anything sinister. Just a couple of employees trying to kill some of the nastier rumors running wild (in blogs... like this one).

So, my apologies to John and the Major. Turns out I was just paranoid after all.
