"We recently learned from a reliable and involved source that the WSL adoption numbers are rather laughable (maybe just hundreds of thousands of active users worldwide). The project is an utter failure, so it’s being rebranded the “2.0ââ¬Â³ way. After almost half a decade ‘out there’, combined with loads of PR and puff pieces from Microsoft boosters inside the media." --
