yeah thats why this stuff is all questionable... supposed good intentions. there was a good article recently that addresses this a bit better https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6833267 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6833267 after a bit of reading about the topic you get more of a sense of how the PR machine is working since many big companies go the "no comment" route or just flat-out lie until they are finally caught red-handed. a statement from Microsoft (or anyone for that matter) doesn't really mean much unless they outline a technical methodology that can be thoroughly tested and verified by crypto experts/community. Some might argue that it weakens the system by open sourcing it, but that's sortof the only way IMHO to get to a system that is based on actual crypto and information transmission theory and not just companies obscuring data with methods that will eventually be cracked.
