  Dan and Brian, you guys rock.  Things have been going downhill since scoble, and I haven't come out much to the site, but you guys and Scott Guthrie have got me interested again.
  
  Keep it up.

• Pat Brenner: New Updates to MFC in Visual Studio 2008

  Nov 29, 2007 at 6:00 AM

  The whole point of .NET is choosing the language of your choice.  I use C++ as little as possible, but I don't want them taking away C#, or VB.NET.  I'm sure the C++ guys feel the same.

  I really enjoyed the Vid, but....
  
  I hope they don't spread themselves so thin on enhancing the big IT shop offerings that they forget the small shops.  As a contractor I have worked in both.  VS2005 just seemed like the IDE has more little quirky issues then VS2003.  Was that because they took dev's off to do team stuff?  Was it because it added to many other tasked that they could focus on all of them?  I hope the new testing and project integration stuff doesn't leave the core IDE to more quirkyness.  For example with SP1 for VS2005 did any one else have the icons in the tool tab freak.  It happened on both my home and work computers right after I installed SP1.  There are plenty more little things, I hope microsoft doesn't forget quality first before functionality.

  Hard to call it everywhere when you don't support unix/linux flavors:O

  Thank You for channel 9!  Best thing Microsoft has done.

• New Role for Bill in July 2008

  Jun 16, 2006 at 6:17 AM

  I thought Bill was great when I used his computers at a library in a town of 600 people to access the internet.  I found it hard to believe that someone would donate so much equipment and money then.  Since I have read about all the great things that him and his wife are doing in helping with medicines and such.  Then I think about how I haven't worked for years because they pay me to do what I love and its because of Bills software.  Thanks Bill for helping out me, so I get to come to work and play all day and for helping out so many of humanities family.

  It only took 30 seconds to tell that the description stating you were doing the interviewing was wrong.  Hey where are the loads of videos Charles mentions a while a go.  He said 1 a day or more.  It would be great to have 1 fresh 'english' video to look forward to everyday as well as other languages:)

• Iain McDonald and Andrew Mason show off the new Windows Server OS

  May 30, 2006 at 7:36 AM

  A core server is a great idea, but without IIS, SQL and .net its only hits a little nitch of what it could hit.  Almost all of our 100's of servers could be run on core except that we run custom .net services to collect events, monitor and sync files.  And a few run asp.net and SQL server.  I think it should be a priority as an optional install in a service pack or the next release.  I think the earlier poster had it right - Just enough .net to do IO, Network, ASP.net an the like.
