In that context, D is just a codename for some other microsoft programming 
langauge.  It's not Digital Mars' D.

Which begs the question, does Digital Mars own any D-related trademarks?  I 
didn't see anything on the web site that indicates D is trademarked.

Hell yeah! They *BZZZZT* dropped the *BZZZT* SOA *BUZZZT!!!* keyword
in only a few paragraphs. I scanned ahead, saw it, closed the window.
It's going to be One Of Those Enterprise Solutions Thingies That
Nobody Really Understands Or Can Define. :)

Ummm.... the name D is taken by an active community of programmers and
programming language which ACTUALLY DOES qualify as a replacement for C that
Microsoft has nothing to do with.

Can someone tell them to fuck off?

Sun did the same with their DTrace - the "probes" are written using
"the D programming language".
