Nice spin to try and make this look like Microsoft's fault when it clearly was not.

The LA Times head line reads:

THE NATION; Human Errors Silenced Airports; A controllers union official describes 'harrowing' incidents in the sky, but the FAA insists the radio system failure posed no threat.

Excerpt from article: "But they said the quirk in the system, known as Voice Switching and Control System, is a "design anomaly" that should have been corrected after it was discovered last year in Atlanta."

Seems the problem was with the Control System and not Microsoft Software.

Nice try to through mud in the face of Microsoft. Seems spin articles do work on the weak minded.
