I remember visiting the Microsoft booth at the Air Force Small Computer
Conference at Gunther AFB while I was an Air Force officer. This was
sometime in 1986/1987 time frame. I asked the representative about
all those Microsoft compilers (C, FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal) and what
were their plans for producing an Ada compiler? He laughed in my face!
I went to that conference 3 years in a row and got the same response
from 3 different Microsoft reps :)
