Doing a bit of work with the Vista Beta 2 SDK, I have realized just how huge a number of new native Vista APIs there are. I'm not necessarily talking about the new controls or user experience APIs,...

What exactly is the process that you use to get KB articles published to the support.microsoft.com site? There's been a VC 2005 hotfix that's existed for a while for resource trashing (kb id 917327)...

Your message here is: I'd love to use this product but the main "adoption blocker" is the IDE usability/performance/bugs. I sat down with them in October of 2003 and gave them that exact message. ...

I think they got this message now after 4 years of not getting it. What I've heard is that Orcas will focus on some improvements in MFC to vastly improve the leveragability of both the XP and Vista...
