Oh my god, they really have lost their minds. *MS* moving *away* from 
"developers, developers, developers"? Now I really have seen it all.

Although, and maybe it's just desperate optimisim (hah! me, "optimism" ;) ), 
I can't shake the suspicion that they may just be "testing the waters" with 
that idea. Ie, they're telling everyone that, and maybe they'll even start 
it off like that, just to see if they can get away with it. They know that 
they can change their mind if they need to, and they know they'll be 
forgiven for it because the internet and everyone on it has the memory and 
attention span of a fruit fly. Just a guess, though.
