:But Microsoft wasn't the maker of the pump...
For his analogy to work, ATT picked the size of the pipe and chose MS to build the pump. The pipe is in place, however the pump has problems functioning at times. MS is responsible for the STB code and a large portion of backend IPTV code as well.
Even verizon had problems with the MS pump and they were using a very large pipe.
I am no AT&T or Microsoft booster.. but even THIS needs to be deflated... Yes AT&T chose the pipe... but they ALSO chose the pump... is it MicroSoft's problem that the pump is inadequate? No - AT&T chose the wrong one. If Microsoft was the only choice there might be an issue.. but as they aren't.....
