I'm very happy to hear about your success, but I'm pretty sure you're
in the minority. With regard to my "whining," I'm sorry you see it that
way, and I couldn't disagree more. Voicing my opinion about what can be
improved is called customer feedback. It is a vital step in the process
that leads to improved products. As a developer, you should know full
well that 'not using the product' is not really a viable option for most
developers, and besides, I'm not saying that I don't like the product.
Programming with Visual Studio and the .Net framework is more enjoyable
than any other type of programming I've done, and I think there are many
obvious business benefits to having a single widely accepted platform to
build on, and overall I've been fairly satisfied with Microsoft's
efforts to produce good products and meet the needs of their customers.
They carry a huge burden on their shoulders, and positioning themselves
as the dominant force in a huge worldwide industry makes them a ripe
candidate for criticism, which is how it should be. They should be held
to high standards, and it's disappointing to me that many of the
frustrations I've had with Vista can easily be identified as either bugs
or poor design. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop using it. It
means I'm going to do my part to help Microsoft do what it should have
done in the first place, even if it sounds to some people like whining.
