Perhaps if the article were more accurate - "Microsoft developer releases side project into the wild" - this would be better received?

The Garage is a loose collective of people building things in their spare time. It's not a formal organization and people who work on Garage projects come from all over the world. Those who are drawn to ambitious side projects would probably fit in pretty well here. Kudos to this project for maturing as far as it has!

I agree. For those that never worked for MSFT will have a hard time to know that Garage is an internal MSFT lingo for MSFT version of 20% free time. But yes, essentially, it is a MSFT Dev who wrote the code as side project and released to the wild.

It is a great for PR, but they really need to make a better video. I couldn't understand what he was saying, because the volume was so low.
