Well, so it is not Microsoft brand after all?
According to MyBB editors it is Microsoft brand.
You must certainly re-read the quote, then apply logic. As it is not a Makro brand (Makro is retailer) and Makro is lanching a product together with Microsoft (not retailer but notebook manufacturer), it must be a Microsoft brand as article suggested. In other words Makro sells Microsoft product, logical?
It doesn't matter what you say. Press release tells you what Microsoft and Makro say. And according to the press release, it is Microsoft product:
No, your understanding is bad if you think it's a MS product. Nowhere does it state it's a MS product, you can think that but it doesn't make it so.

Nah. Not true, as many have explained above. Besides, the link is to a Press article, not a Press release. Microsoft SA certainly mentions this because it's one of the first local releases by an IHV (independent hardware vendor) of a tablet that comes with the free Windows with Bing. Microsoft mention and are sometimes present at product announcements at Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, etc, just like Intel come to announcements by their major IHVs.
You are wrong, as it is a geninue press release (quoting again below). There is a product and a party involved (Makro and Microsoft), this press event has a place and date, like in the court.
You are right pointing out that Microsoft is sometimes present at product announcements such brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo etc, but in each case there is a brand. Without brand there is no marketting. In this case Makro is not a laptop/tablet manufacturer, they don't even have No-Name brand like P&P has. As Microsoft has an established laptop product on the market, it is logical for the reader to assume that Nextbook is another Microsoft product.
