SInce this continues to be promulgated .. I'll say this in public:
Do NOT quote without asking permission to quote.
Ask the people concerned if they can be quoted in the way you want to quote them. You do not want to use out of context quotes and you will be in trouble if you do. If you receive their permission, hang on to it. If you hear nothing, consult your lawyer friends.

It is not a "microsoft" quote. It is a quote from an individual in a leaked document. He's a human being. Ask him if you can use this quote as one of several in a press release. He did not write this as part of a book chapter that he intended for publication, so its status is murky.
