He was only trying to be helpful, and added the kind of disclaimer one
sometimes sees in these public fora to make sure nobody assumes that his
comments reflect *anything*, including endorsement of any proposals or
ideas, on the part of the company or organisation he is associated with. He
happened to choose the word "legitimacy" where "endorsement" would probably
have been better. I think it was obvious (at least it was to me) what his
intent was. As for "rights", I think he's simply saying nobody can assume
the right to expect anything in particular of Microsoft as a result of his
comments. Again, I think it was clear what his intent was. I don't think
his disclaimer needed a careful exegesis.
