For those in the know, MS has already established its online "track record". It has launched numerous "ground breaking" products, with strong initial promotion (well, marketing, at least), only to kill them off 1 - 3 years later when they weren't happy with adoption. Not that Google and others haven't also done this, upon occasion. But, by contrast, MS has almost no track record of success (Hotmail, they bought -- and still almost/partially fucked up.) At this point, I simply will not trust anything "online" from MS. Likewise, anything they "share". When you get into trying to actually use it, inevitably you're sucked into a commercial relationship before it becomes useful. Or, you were. I guess some people are using the recent Express editions of their developer tools with some success. I'd already given up. I don't mind their making a buck. I do mind what I perceive as their disingenuity.
