Title: Microsoft rigging their listening tests?

Microsoft may have used old MP3 encoders in their comparison against the new WMA encoder.  At least, that's what someone reports in a thread on hydrogenaudio.

Maybe someone here could confirm this.

Probably used Xing or some other bad encoder to make themselves seem awesome as per usual.
