We'll stay on Github as long as it continues to serve our interests, which it 
has done very well, and I have no reason to believe will change.

We have a number of ties to Microsoft:

1. It's just down the street.
2. Many D users work at Microsoft.
3. Microsoft has always been helpful and supportive of Digital Mars, note the 
files licensed from Microsoft in the distribution.
4. Microsoft has invited myself and Andrei to speak at Microsoft from time to time.
5. Microsoft hosts the nwcpp.org meetings, which provide a venue for me to try 
out D presentations to a friendly crowd.
6. Microsoft has been generous with helping me solve some vexing compatibility 
problems from time to time.
