The day Microsoft announces that they are going with Ada 95 and are adopting
a formal software development methodology is the day you'll see pigs fly...
Everyone knows that Microsoft only employs underpaid hackers which it locks
in small rooms and feeds pizza and jolt cola to. As far as software
development goes - I think they still rely heavily on the "Big-Bang"
integration approach along with a healthy dose of build'n'fix.
Rumors are often wrong. Chalk this one up as fantasy based trolling...
