Abstract
Of course, to say that nobody uses formal methods is an exaggeration, see the recent study by Dan Craigen: “Formal Methods Adoption: What’s Working? What’s Not!” (ORA Canada).

This abstract highlights some aspects that we found important in our work with system designers within Microsoft.
