What do you want confirmation of? That MS is now a gentle, caring beast? Large organizations are not like that, they are money making machines that adopt strategies to maximise profit. EEE is no longer such a strategy, though it worked very well for a long time. Will MS ever go EEE again? In a heartbeat if they felt it would maximise profits. Does that seem likely in the short to medium term? No, the industry is different now, and they have to play nice.
