●● Microsoft Claimed to be Killing Another Product: Quadrant

Posted in Microsoft at 2:04 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Microsoft’s Quadrant reportedly dies as Microsoft looks for new areas that will decrease its number of existing failures

Is Microsoft still cutting down products, not just people? According to Dr. Dobb’s Journal, “Rumours suggest that Microsoft is dropping or at least shelving its graphical tool code-named Quadrant. Part of the Oslo data modeling platform; the tool is closely aligned to the company’s M declarative data modeling language which is likely to also be subject to “revisions” if Quadrant fails to enjoy a new lease of life.” Mary Jo Foley says that “another piece of Microsoft’s Oslo modeling puzzle disappears” and by “disappears” she means being dropped.

Microsoft is dropping Quadrant, a tool originally slated to be part its data-modeling platform, which was originally codenamed Oslo, and is revising its plans for its M data-modeling language.

Microsoft’s list of dead products keeps growing. █
