Unfortunately it went with it. There were some superficial talks about it winding up in the Symbian Foundation, but those didn’t materialize. And yes, it probably points to a major…

Was the framework you mentioned in (1) a Microsoft project, or something else? As a matter of interest, what did you do on the CF team?

I can recommend someone I've met a few times, but didn't end up pursuing an EB-5. Bear in mind that these projects are often not funded through traditional means and ergo are more …
