Hear Hear.

Here's my current list:

  1. Hotmail Tabs (hmm, will Hotmail get rid of the Javascript once IE7 comes out then? [<img src='http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/content/images/emoticons/emotion-5.gif' alt='Wink' />] )
  2. Nuke Anything (woo... no more adverts or "undesirable content" )
  3. Sage (never really use it, though)
  4. User-Agent Switcher (...for when Microsoft.com's being a biatch again)
  5. Web Developer Toolbar (MUST HAVE!)
  6. Translate (saves time going to Babelfish)
  7. AdBlock (yarr! take that DoubleClick.Net!)
  8. ieview (for baaaad sites)
  9. fireFTP (sometimes Explorer crashes and I don't want to fire up Dreamweaver)
  10. Delicious Delicacies (who (from the 0.7 Beta) doesn't have this one?)
  11. Live HTTP Headers (I can't get this one to work :/ )
  12. Disable New-window Target (the target="_blank" thing is just baaaad, this corrects it))
  13. SpellBound (built-in spell checker... I even use it on Channel9)
  14. And FlashBlock, the best thing to happen to Gamespy.com (and its spin-offs) and ITPro sites since sliced bread!

Thankfully it is beyond the 5 year NDA period and I can freely talk about all of the nice folks that spent at minimum of 10 hours each week making the Zone an enjoyable place.

Online gaming is just a lot of fun!  It was the game-cheating that drove me away from that arena more than a year ago. (sad day it 'twas for me)

That's as officially affiliated with M.S. as I have gotten to date.

Now, I program in different technologies than are not the mainstay of this Website;however, I am drawn to those that seek to improve themselves.  These forums here are just the sort of fertile ground that I tromp in my quest to expand my knowledge on any given subject.

You can find me cracking a lame joke or in the middle of a deep discussion on various topics over at Indigo Rose's forums (link not supplied to keep the hackles down).

I have experienced so much in life so far and I am excited at where the entire computer related (hardware and software) market segments are heading!

Each thing I learn... is a stepping stone to the next thing I will learn.  To me... it's all related eventually, on some level.

Okay, sorry, I've digressed too much Smiley

I know the feeling.  I played Medal of Honor - Allied Assault... (sorry in advance for the lack of being humble) I probable was in the top 5 to 10 percent players, as far as game skill goes.

I ran into the cheats a few months into the game, hot and heavy.  That really dampened my enjoyment to say the least.  I can be very competitive (desk, sorry).

Then I turn on TechTV (when it was TechTV anyway)... and there's a program about Cheating at games!  Ack!

So, in the later half of 2003 I decided to put down my nostromo n50 gamepad (teary eyed, I'm ok now, sniff) and put my free time to good use (coding in various languages, for one).

Ironically, I just received HL2 for x-mas and I have played it just one time, for about 11 minutes.

Cheating stinks! (especially when those hacks are used Online, in multiplayer games)

*steps off soapbox, takes deep breath.

Avalon does UI rendering and interaction, and makes use of DirectX for compositing the UI elements (to the screen). It doesn't replace it. And DirectX won't exactly be replaced, some bigger changes and renaming it to WGF, as far as I know.

Is the name change needed?

There is so much computer jargon as is, is my point and when I need a customer to download DirectX... I do not want to mean WGF and confuse them.

Please rethink renaming products that end-users will need to get. (or think on it some more)

Thank you in advance,
