Where do you get the impression that Microsoft's promise is non-binding?
Microsoft's official FAQ on their Community Promise explicitly states that it irrevocable and legally binding [1]. I have previously read complaints that the promise doesn't cover enough of the .NET libraries among other issues [2], but I was not aware until now of anyone claiming that it is non-binding.
