    Shoot, If I had a company which made product X, and my competitors spent millions on a media campaign to say it does something bad 100% of the time, when in fact it didn't, I'd be suing their Aszes, if for no other reason than to pull the ads off the air.




    Suing people is not always the answer. (Never involve the government in a private matter unless you absolutely have to...)

    It would breed bad will and give more ammo to those who already drink haterade all day. Suing usually just generates more headlines, ignoring it is the best course of action IMHO.

    Let them hate all they want. It's not going to stop me from writing software that people use and enjoy.

    To quote this thread, "You're kidding, right?"


    Nope, there's no reason to turn it into the kind of childishness that you see in political ads. "Person X says Person Y does Z which is a crime against man" should be reserved for when you have nothing good to say about yourself.

    I have decided to take my leave of Channel 9.  I will no longer post in this or any other Microsoft sponsored forum.  I dont believe in Microsofts products, developers, or the company itself.  I decided my time will be better served promoting the superior product, Linux, and evangelizing the GPL 3 and giving my input to open source companies.  Open Source, GPL3 and Linux has no place in a Microsoft forum and obviously in Microsoft itself.. 


    Well, I see you came back. Just gonna QFT this Big Smile I remember beer28 edited off a bunch of his posts a while back.

  • Top 10 problems I had on vista

    that Microsoft Visual Studio doesn't run on Vista. I guess that answers the question on whether Microsoft's Vista developers are dogfooding.

    *snip*



    Visual Studio works on Vista. I use pre-SP1 at home on Vista all the time w/o elevating. I normally only do C++/ATL projects, don't know about other scenarios, but I've done C# as well.

    I elevate a command prompt to do regasm and regsvr32.

  • Virtual PC 2007 too good for Home Premium?

    I'm not a EULA wizard, so I can't decipher the language any better than you. Take my post with a grain of salt. But there is a difference between "unsupported" and "disallowed".

    From the snippet you posted, it sounds just unsupported. Tech support will not answer any questions on it, you will not get bug fixes for free, etc. If it works, you can to do it.

    Boot camp is unsupported by Apple, all that means it you cannot ask people at the Genius bar to help you set it up and fix any problems that happen.

    There's no limitation keeping you from running it, unless you refuse to run unsupported configurations. This is the case for many business environments which would not be running the home SKU anyways.

    Only difference is Vista automatically sorts the list, while XP and earlier always added the newcomers at the end.


    I noticed this. Maybe just my user intertia, but I want it to be on the end because *I* knew I was changing files and I want to be able to find them fast. This is probably just my stupid programmer brain, *real* users don't care.
