'While it's not winning everyone over, there are real signs that Microsoft has taken criticisms on board where it matters most: in the software and services that it provides. The idea of a faster, slimmer Windows is one that most Vista owners would automatically put on their wishlist, and it seems that Microsoft has genuinely done something about it. It's not just reignited interest in the Windows product line, but it's got users appreciating a fresh approach from Microsoft as well.'"

That these 8 unexpected mutations do not occur in other patients does reinforce the importance of the recurrence of the other two (FLT3 and NPM1). That being said, personally, I am at a loss as to why genome sequencing 1 patient is more desirable than gene expression analysis over a larger sample; but I am not familiar with the state of the art in AML research.
