There'll be a backlash. Microsoft will kill the program and claim that "Microsoft relies on a number of 3rd parties for its marketing. In this case, the 3rd party acted without consulting Microsoft and as soon as Microsoft was made aware of the issue, they cancelled the program"
- lbarrow 15y agoA claim that may actually be true in this case.
- wpietri 15y agoSure, but as Mark Twain once said, one of the best ways to lie is to tell just part of the truth. Things I'd like to know: When did they find out? Why didn't they detect this before the general public? Are they clawing back every dollar they ever paid this and all intermediate vendors? Will they sue for reputational damage and the penalties allowed under their affiliate program terms? If they didn't know about this, they certainly should have expected it.
