I think the announcement is well-worded. I hold the writers and editors of this press release in high regard.<p>The message however, is typical of the hyperbole, ultra-positive marketspeak/corporatespeak that one expects for such things.<p>Here is my list of short phrases and words that I think they clearly want to hammer home:<p>important milestone; proud; exciting; new; incredibly collaborative; new PC experience; new world of scenarios; preserving an [...] investment; breadth of participation; most widely and deeply used; 16 million PCs actively participated; openness; unique perspective; deeply committed; transparency; promised refinements; meeting the needs; reached our [...] milestone; real world experiences; improve support; “fast and fluid”; thousands of new features; exciting innovations; rapidly expand; opportunity for developers; deliver innovative (and profitable) apps; unique;<p>I'm sure I missed a few hum-dingers that would be in your summary list.<p>With a few replacements of numeric values, dates and product-specific wording, this press release would be usable by many software development and software-related businesses.

What on earth is the purpose of the "August 1, 2012" date in the title, other than to be confusing?<p>EDIT: And I mean the title of the blog post itself. I understand that the link here is just echoing the post's title.

Anyone have the text? All I see is: Server Error in '/' Application. And a .NET error page.

You would think there would be some comments on that blog article page for such an important announcement, but there are zero comments. I wonder why.
