Yours is the first sensible comparison of WebForms and MVC I've read. It's great that you avoid the hyperbole that so often accompanies frameworks, methodologies, etc., in favor of a simple case study. I've been grumbling to myself for some time about learning .Net MVC, but now will investigate with the mindset that I may find some actual value in it.

I used Web Forms for several years and became very proficient with it. However, I started using MVC several years ago and I haven't looked back since. MVC solutions tend to be better organized due to separation of concerns. You also don't have to worry with the View State and other archaic concepts from Web Forms. It's definitely a bit of a learning curve, but I think it's well worth spending a few hours/days to become familiar with how MVC works. Once you've used it for a few weeks, I think you'll regret not having used it sooner.

Is it KSS if I refer to "BINGing Cortana" ?

My 11 year old niece got a Windows phone for Christmas. She and my 10 yo daughter were having lots of fun with Cortana the other day, so much so that my daughter now wants a Windows phone instead of her iPhone.
She is not getting a new phone, and the only reason she has an iPhone is because of a fortunate incident involving an insurance company.

I'm not - it just doesn't work with my voice (too soft, apparently) and it uses Bong which is about as useful as a chocolate tea-pot...
Yes, yes, I know you can install ChromeTana or Bing2Google - but I'm trying to keep my extensions to a minimum. Since it gets very little right when I speak to it I can't really be bothered...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm using Cortana from off-planet, and every time I ask travel-directions back to Earth, it tries to get me to talk about my feelings.

I've only used Cortana (on my phone) twice to set reminders to turn off the water in the swimming pool. I really should use it more for other timers/reminders, but I keep forgetting to set them!

I'm using Cortana fairly regularly. Mostly to remind me about stuff when I get to certain locations or to set timers and getting a quick weather info.
Have only used it once to send an sms to someone. It worked but the habit of typing has succeeded there.
The recognize music feature has failed me miserably so far. But oh well. No tears lost there.
So does that satisfy your curiosity?

I mostly meant Cortana on a desktop PC.
But I am glad we could identify you, single user of Cortana on the planet. We had been looking for you for months now.

I use the windows (7) calculator a lot to convert between hex and decimal and binary values, which is possible with one of the views of the windows calculator, but you once converted, you can only do integer operations in this programming view. For instance, if you convert 38 hex value to decimal, so 56, and wants to divide this one by 80 for any reason, it throws 0 instead of 0,7. You have to change the view to be able to perform the operation, which means copy and paste the previous result as the view change resets the calculator, and it drives me mad.

You could use the MS swap modes and then press then MR button, its a bit easier, maybe.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It sometimes helps to simply write things down : I came across Calculator "Plus", which has not the restriction, and overwrote the calc.exe file.
Thanks for indirectly pointing me in the right direction
