Got an answer to my email already. Wow, that's impressive service. They must be working late over there.

Anyhow, they wrote back that it is indeed as I had thought. No hard data available. The lead-free solder issue is nothing more than an assumption since MS did not reveal root causes.


OK, so I do not have to worry about other new stuff I am buying falling apart....


I do worry about that, especially after seeing some RoHS products myself.

My point was the subject line, suggesting there was evidence that there is the first lead-free victim. There isn't any proof, at least nothing public.


Yes, it is known MS does not reveal details, I have read a transcript of the MS
conference where they acknowledged the problem and extended the warrantee.

Did they mention who 'the experts' were?


No, he did not mention that. If you want to contact him click on the "hag" below the article and it'll show his full email address. Then you can ask him.
