The data WAS safe until M$ bought it, didnt know the architecture, and destroyed it... (and they DIDNT have a backup or do a test deployment)
Kinda sad. Like has already been said... I much prefer if companies like Microsoft and Apple keep their hands off of well... everything, except their own products/os's...
Welcome to Seven Forums Amorphous83.
Agree, it's good to have other players in the mix.
This seems to happen everywhere, not just the computer industry, and usually not for the consumers benefit.
I can't help but think that somehow, Microsoft may start charging for the service. I also feel that large companies of any industry shouldn't buy out other companies to cut down competition or otherwise. Just my two cents.
