That is not "Microsoft goals", that is "one employee's LinkedIn comment of his personal goal".

It's less one guy's plan and more one Microsoft Research team's research goal to investigate technologies that might enable that in a few years. So probably more institutional support than just some guy, but less actually planning on succeeding in the full ambitious goal.

No, after this made some waves he or some other senior (I don't remember exactly) reported that this is not an official plan.

Sorry, by "official support" I mean that there is support within MSR to investigate these tools as a research project, no that there is a plan to actually do the conversion.
