For the MS stuff I work on we don't have much choice (other than re-developing some 3rd party stuff on our own (which we are)). Regardless NT4 has other problems... hardware is getting difficult. The last several stock systems we ordered wouldn't run NT because of incompatibilities with new hardware that has no support in NT. We now have to be ever more careful about the systems we build (since we can't really use stock) to make sure the MB + periphals won't give NT a heart failure!
I read the summary and terms like 'predicted analytically and demonstrated through simulation' don't seem to indicate that the material is actually developed. Unfortunately I don't have a subscription so I couldn't delve further. Anyone care to see if this is just speculation or if they actually have a material that seems to have neg refractive-index properties.
