Although I agree with Microsoft's position here, one line stuck out as absurd:
>An analysis of recent cyber-attacks was able to identify five countries using offensive cyber capabilities between 2012 and 2015: Russia, China, North Korea, France and Israel.
A study of cyber-attacks was done, and the United States was not included on the list of countries? From Stuxnet to Vault 7 to US officials openly bragging about our cyber attacks on Russia (and others), there is no dispute that we are among the most active countries in the world when it comes to cyber-attacks. Ask Angela Merkel what she thinks about it. Absurd posturing by Microsoft to leave us off the list.
