Not stating the obvious makes it nothing but spin, but in his position, most of us would probably have said it the same way. It's long been Microsoft's tactic to de-reference the competition out of their perceived reality, out of existence if possible; "Pay them no mind!"
Now that MS has Skype, I notice we've graduated from minor bugs to complete non-functionality before the next update. Great. Maybe they won't slit its throat like they did Connectix' Virtual-PC.

Like thus:
“It’s unbelievable that a company which once commanded 95% of the world’s computer marketshare is now destined to file for bankruptcy.”
“Guess that goes to show what happens when you steal ideas from those who create them, huh?”
