I was hoping to hear a little more technical apology from Microsoft. For a suit, reading what the VP posted might make sense, but for a techie like myself I really need to know that the platform is mature and stable. A detailed description of the problem helps me judge.

To be fair, the post does say they'll provide the technical explanation when they have more info:

I think that's fair enough (assuming they don't just quietly forget about this last part).
