| It's amazing the changes at Microsoft, since Bill & Steve left.

If they can deliver what they promise, it's a very interesting

Most embeded software is "fire and forget".  As a customer, one cannot
expect support longevity in IoT devices these days.  But it is really
important.

Not many companies could make that 10 year promise believable.  I wish
it were from a more disinterested company.
