It does not have Microsoft sales people saying that it will be
discontinued because they are selling

Not really... Micro$oft has announced interest in Python.
Sure - they've recently released IronPython 1.0, which is a version
of Python that will run in the CLR. If you code using that version,
then yes, you may be subject to the whims of Redmond Marketing.
But the point is that nobody can buy Python and control it. You
simply cannot have a situation like what happened with Fox, where
Microsoft bought Fox Software, took what it could use from it, and
tossed it aside.
