Exactly: And the answer was/is "it will not happen."

As much as we don't want to believe that is true, it is. That,
unfortunately, leaves a shadow on all their development platforms. I've
learned my lesson again (again).

It's unlikely to happen to me again in the future as we're placing our eggs
in another basket. That's quite unfortunate. MS has some bright guys and a
lot of resources to put on projects.

Unfortunately, a well done bad project implementing a poor strategy is
pretty useless to me. Well, more than useless.
