They did the right thing by pulling the website. How it happened in the first place is the real question.

As they say, they contracted a independent contractor for the work, who probably couldn't handle the task well and took too many code samples from Plurk's source code

But for a new site to be released like this, either

a> MS does not review the work of their subcontractors, or

b> whomever reviewed the new site was not familiar with their major competitor in the region.

Does either seem very likely?
