I have posted 2 responses to this blog at http://realworldsa.dotnetdevelopersjournal.com/dsl.htm, and one to Steve Cooks Question about what UML I would like to see support http://realworldsa.dotnetdevelopersjournal.com/umltoolsfromms.htm

I would like to also get some idea of how MS envisions this movement supporting the smaller applications. Software factories will be great for the bigger companies who are investing in PLE or engineering firms, but what about the smaller apps that are just single application builds that usually fall under the pieces and parts of an Enterprise architecture. Where you find a bunch of apps that are being integrated at the enterprise level, and have they have they there own specs within the scope of just those apps. Uml worked great for those types of apps. Or the single application shops, that just are building apps once for client requirements. UML also worked great for that.

I’d be willing to send you and certain other individuals examples of what I am talking about after I get permission from certain individuals, but I cannot post them. Some of the companies are history, so some of it I could send if you are interested with out permission. But I won't post them.
