Saffron UML acquired by Microsoft?
Wednesday, June 4, 2008 
Someone left a comment here ("pssd") about a DIGG in regards to Saffron.
"Jeff D. confirms that Saffron has been bought by Microsoft and will no longer be released as an AS3/air app. Sam is currently working with Microsoft engineers to move the code base over to WPF/Silverlight with a view to a release in Q1 next year as an online app available as part of the Visual Studio package. April 23"
Hmm... Sam's website is down for maintenance, and the digg references a journal entry from 2/19/2008 -- which doesn't currently exist anymore.

So there is no way to actually prove any of this is real. There hasn't been any news in a long time. So it has the ring of truth in it (acquired), or perhaps Sam is putting out all the stops in regards to getting ready for a release so many are eager for.
If Microsoft did acquire this, congrats Sam. Although it pains me to see this beauty deployed in anything but an AS3 AIR application.

Or maybe not!”
