nope. i think the most significant line is:

"This study and our analysis were funded under a research contract from Microsoft."

[bottom of page 6]

in medicine, i would not prescribe a drug where the only safety data comes from
trials sponsored by the manufacturer: after all, aren't they likely to suppress
any trials that show negative effects against their product? taking the laws of
probability, a certain percentage (e.g. 5%) are going to be favourable to their
product; if that is the only one that is published...

well, you can draw your own conclusions ;-)
