Take it to the Soapbox so you can have a proper rant at the subject.

It wasn't a rant; more along the lines of utter incredulity.
However, if it makes you want to rant then you have my blessing. Feel free...

Tasty flame broiled delicious murder.
The proper response to that sort of idiocy is to go to the steakhouse for lunch today.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Nice to see they've added a "[sic]" after a correct spelling.

That's handy to remember if you ever bump into him - just mention that you eat meat, and he'll disappear up his own arse.

So, I want to look in to using group policy to run something on start up. A google gets an article for XP. It says 'you're using Windows 8, go to the windows 8 centre'. So I go. It takes me to a general page. There's a search box. I search, and find tons of articles. None for Windows 8, they all link back to that page.

Yes, I just closed the same page, thanks. My point was, MSDN takes me to a Windows 8 page and the search is NOT searching just Windows 8 content, so it's an endless loop.
I got out of it using google and refining my search. But, that I need google to search MSDN effectively is surely not a feather in Microsoft's cap ?

Maybe Microsoft set the bait so that Google intentionally does that.
You should have used Bing! (*)

That's why I quit using MSDN because it's a circle jerk...it led me in circles till I felt like a jerk.

So, how did it go? Happy ending?

Happy ending, when I google I don't click any link associated with MSDN unless I'm in a tail chasing mood.

I agree that MSDN search is useless, but the documentation is indispensable.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|

And there is the issue. Useless search on a trove of useless information, would hardly be frustrating.

Happened to me yesterday. I was looking for some information about hosted network and ad hoc wireless network and google link was for XP. MSDN quickly found out I was not on XP and gave me a link. It took me to landing page for any W7 related help. Before I noticed anything on that page, I closed it and went back to google for more specific search. Worked like charm.

I found that the links on the VS 2013 start page all go to a general page where they seem to be shouting at me...#define VISUAL_STUDIO! Why not just have one link?
