This week, Microsoft started asserting to the media that it has only ordered a small quantity of Medis' fuel cells as trade show giveaways.
This flies in the face of what we were told by Medis itself, as quoted above, which, when specifically asked, emphatically maintained that Microsoft was ordering these in large quantities ("millions," he said) for resale.
As the one who performed the interview with Medis, let me confirm that this is indeed what we were told by the company.
Also for the record, a Medis executive, upon seeing our article, called Inside Greentech to suggest the Microsoft order was substantially smaller in size than what the company's spokesperson had told us. No contrary numbers were given. Nor was any suggestion made that these products weren't intended for resale.
