I respect what Simonyi did for the industry back in the day, but Intentional Software is just useless vaporware (or -at best- weird academic research without practical applications). As a Microsoft shareholder, I'm disappointed they're paying money for it (probably only to get Simonyi back, though his technical expertise is totally outdated and his management skills are questionable).

Genuinely curious how you're assessing his technical expertise - you must have serious insider access to be able to judge it as totally outdated.

Having seen what they can do with it and the speed with which they can do it, you are wrong. It's neither useless nor vaporware.
