I suspect that, with much of Il-2's source code now publicly available, there is a real risk that Microsoft might try to retake its turf. You realise that, if they were building a sim, they might not talk to us at all. Unlike with Oleg, we might find out about it at around the time its ready for release.
My own theory is simply that Oleg is preparing to release SoW:BoB sometime around Q1 and that Galba will follow a few months later. This would mean that they are busy because they are making progress. Oleg stated in the other thread that the alpha is being readied, the beta isn't likely to be far behind.
