And they even say its good

From the article :

"Microsoft is pitching its tools as on par with the performance of
Linux."

So there it is - proof it is going to be good.

"Somehow i don't think MS is into wasting this many resources if
it wasn't a viable (aka competitive product), its not like they can
market there way into this segment, scientists are smarter than
that. "

No, its not like MS has wasted resources before (re $US30 billion
in R&D over the past 5 years with 2 versions of Office and 1 OS
to show for it).

"I know i haven't seen it either but, I at least have an open mind
about it."

I'd question how open your mind is. The fact they compare
vapourware with an existing product (powering the worlds most
powerful supercomputers) should be enough for anyone to have
a laugh at the article.
