>Microsoft in particular is doing relatively well for a variety of reasons, but not because of this one.
Why exactly wouldn't Microsoft's newfound good reputation be included among those reasons? Your rebuttal would be just as unfounded as the theory you are dismissing. Perhaps it's not as determinant a factor as the author makes it out to be, but discarding it altogether doesn't look reasonable to me.

- Funes- 8y ago>that doesn't validate the higher-profile original either. You're right, it doesn't. I never said that, either. >Seems a bit "well actually" TBH I'm sorry if it came across that way, really. I like to be as precise as I can with everything I say, so it just came out that way naturally. Actually, one of the first replies I got here (not too long ago) was a similar kind of comment to the one we are discussing now. At first, my reaction was negative, as in "this guy is just trying to one-up me by nitpicking my comment"; then, I realized it was an opportunity to start to make myself as clear as possible whenever I wrote any other comments. Anyhow, I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.
