That's too bad... A shake up in management would do them a world of good and allow the technology to flurish at a faster rate. We'll have to see who, really, is in charge.

Oops… thanks… typeo…. Not means NOW…. Ooops…
My point was that Softricity will continue to function as before. They won't be pieced out as a lot of people were trying to say Microsoft would do to them…
Thanks for pointing that out. I make that typeo all the time… ooops…

I think you misread part the artcle... Softricity is a wholly owned subsidary.
"With the closing of this acquisition, Softricity becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft, and integration of Softricity's technologies into the Microsoft software delivery and engineering processes begins."

Interesting eh?
I find 3 things in the release of interest (IMHO)
1) Softricity is still Softricity, but not a wholly owned subsidiary
2) Zero-Touch and the SMS Connector are now FREE
3) The cost of SoftGrid will be CUT! This is GREAT NEWS!!!
