Keyboards hardware vs software - IME edition

If you search this Blog with the keywords keyboards hardware vs software to see the many differences between these two things that are supposed to be kinda the same but the recent blog post about the Chinese keyboard

puts it all into perspective for me. Several have suggested that the Cangjie input method is what it seems to resemble most closely.

It is easy to see how far Windows has moved away from this dedicated hardware model with its IMEs in the Text Services Framework that I doubt that the Cangjie TSF Text Input Profile could ever hope to connect to seamlessly.

How far has Windows and Microsoft moved away from this input model exactly? Pretty far, I would imagine!
