Actually, the it is my understanding that Gore had arranged to speak at MSFT weeks in advance. Then, the FOF put him in a tight spot, and he tried to wiggle out of it. Apparently, his spokesperson just went out and announced that Gore was cancelling because the press is not allowed. They apparently didn't even tell MSFT that they were cancelling. MSFT saw the press release, and tried to figure out what hit them.

Gore has completely proved himself to be a spineless chicken by pulling a stunt like this.
