Apperantly microsoft is not partner but participant .... like I wrote in another thread IOTA I think IOTA admins could have informed about this at some earlier point...
A lot of people are misunderstanding about that, the microsoft try to make a clarification and it seems the microsoft partner just another fake news. Microsoft only become a partner of the EEA and iota will never become a microsoft partner. That means IOTA doesn't get a lot of interest.

Please fact check.
A. Microsoft employee gave the Iota team the media that said "Partner." It would be weird for them to edit media not created by them.
B. Fujitsu and Bosch are much more involved and are comparable in size to MS, so why everyone is locked in on only the MS news is beyond me. You can go and check that yourself or look here

D. This was just posted on reddit, and if true, shows that this was a frightned attack by the big guns--sad if they are acting like the banks they want to replace https://www.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/7jkg0n/journalist_writing_article_on_fud_campaign/
Research before you run your mouth and spread wild accusations and rumors--BS just gets in everyone's way.
I believe this is a coordinated smear campaign, so cross posting and getting ahead of this BS--saves me time if I only have to repost the main points.
