I'm not defending Microsoft but "scam" is probably the wrong label for what they did. Nothing was literally sold to anyone. They made a misleading announcement about progress they supposedly made.
Yes but people invest money based on these type of announcements. Maybe not a direct scam though
> Nothing was literally sold to anyone.
Uhh, yes it was, the claims were literally sold to investors.

You should use their products to really see what "scam" means. /s
