Microsoft's boring first Vista ad - VIDEO (Download Squad)

Dec 5th 2006 8:47PM Microsoft could make the earth spin the other way around, and you linux hippies will still criticize them. There is nothing with the ad. Now of course if this was an apple ad for iShit, you'd make a long line at your nearest apple store. Face it - you are biased.

Visual Basic 9 gives love to old skool VB? (Download Squad)

Oct 12th 2005 1:06PM Linq is not a way to do databases. Even DLinq will not make database knowledge, especially SQL, obsolete. At best, DLinq is a way to do easy translation between databases and objects. Thats really what it's all about. Also, given that MS itself has such a huge codebase and investment in COM, it only makes sense if people who use MS technology try and learn from Microsoft's example. You don't need to rewrite all of your code to move to .NET. Inspite of a multi-year retirement plan for VB6, there are still some people who will refuse to upgrade to VB.NET. Or they will continue to blame Microsoft for an architecture they developed that cannot be easily used over Interop. Any developer with half a brain knows to abstract his logic so changing components can be easily swapped. But if you wrote all your logic in the front end - obviously you will run into a wall one day. Then don't go blaming Microsoft for retiring an archaic programming platform.
