Nope. Orth got bopped for opening up the XBox kimono a little too much without permission. That he did so in a rude fashion was just the icing that made his eventual booting by Microsoft look a lot more "for the customer" than it really was.

He also communicated it in a way that was anti-customer, which with the upcoming war coming, they don't want.  They want to phrase the conversation.  And from what I've seen, the phrasing is subtly different than Orth's, i.e. the always on is in the way of their cable presence and close partnership with Xfinity...  it looks like they're making the new xbox into a cable box.  It's an interesting strategy- but definitely one that can't be communicated like Orth did... or you'll get the response he did.
