They didn't say shit.
Why is this a thread?

This is almost a confirmation given Microsoft's history of commenting on "rumors and speculation".

Also from The Verge:

It looks like the leaked document has now been removed. Clicking through to Scribd (where it had been hosted this morning) only shows a note that it was removed "at the request of Covington & Burling LLP," an international law firm that lists Microsoft as one of its clients.

Big companies are so dumb when it comes to stuff like this, those docs will be on thousands of peoples harddrives ready to be uploaded else where and having the source taken down just makes it more obvious that it's real.

In terms of their general strategy, it's pretty much what you would expect. In terms of actual hardware information, it's old and not very specific. Some interesting, but not too surprising things planned for a few years down the line (like cloud gaming and AR/VR goggles).

I actually don't really know what to expect so I'm not sure what you mean. Kinect everywhere?

So it was as close a confirmation that it was real as we would get from Microsoft.

In gaming jargon: would this run Avatar at 720p at 23fps?

it's real

The doc is real, so this was really the best they could do.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

it's real

Yep. Don't know why people are whining about this being a thread. Their response and getting it removed obviously means it's real. Guess I'll actually bother entering the other thread and see what's up.

I'm ready for e3.

It Must be amazing to be one of these pr guys and realise your job is to troll and get away with it.

Patrick Klepek on blast.

 

[YuriLowell]

This document was real.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

I fail to see how this is more of a comment than "We don't comment on rumors and speculation". Anyone care to explain?

The fact that Microsoft DO comment on rumours and speculation to deny things, means that when they DO pull that line - or indeed the line they used here "Our products are great, apropos of nothing you just asked" - is basically a confirmation.

This one?

Probably.
