Based on their track record, if MicroSoft purchased Aonix the first thing
they would do is kill the Ada product. Ada doesn't evolve fast enough to
force everyone re-purchase their development environment periodically just
to keep up with the language. If MicroSoft used Ada for internal development,
their software would probably have fewer bugs, so they would loose money on
upgrades ;-)
... you scared me for a minute there.
