One can only hope Microsoft would do a good thing. The saddest thing would be if it was all just lost. I hadn't heard of Allegiance; that's interesting. [Aside

[Aside: I do wonder where all the relevant artifacts would be kept. Do they have a vault with floor to ceiling shelving with all sorts of old stuff? Or is it all in the "cloud"?]
- WorldMaker 6y agoIf it is kept somewhere, it is likely still tape backups, which might indeed just be in a nice library room collecting dust on shelves. Though these days it might be "cloud" tape backups. (Most of the cloud providers offer "cold storage" that is slow and expensive to retrieve when you need it back, as that cold storage is just as likely to be tape backups and it takes time to retrieve a tape from a shelf, unspool that tape, and read from it.)
