XP and 7 are the only versions that actually exist.

Windows 9 actually translates to "Windows No" which means no more Windows. So Windows 7 was the last version Microsoft will support. Microsoft is not going to make any more Windows....just doors.

|
Microsoft has plans to end support within the next year
|
|

|

Actually not until 2020.

The problem with rodent infestations is that you can never be completely rid of them. A bit like Windows 9, and Moon Landing deniers.

You insult rodents. More like cockroaches or herpes.
|

Yes. My apologies to rodents. You are right; more like a cockroach with Herpes!

Seriously, whatever MS is paying you to do marketing for them, it's too much.

OK, I know I give Microsoft a hard time a lot, and many people think I hate them. But I only give them grief out of .
Whoever thought Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 CTP 1[^] is a valid name for a product needs a series of good, firm strikes about the head and shoulders. That's IBM-naming quality.

And since when did CTP become a 'norm' in the development cycle.
Alpha, Beta, CTP, RTM
CTP used to be an interim release to 'show-off' up and coming products, now it appears to have become lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
|
And Microsoft have their own names:
Traditional name MS name:
Alpha == Beta
Beta == RTM
CTP == Service Pack
RTM == Next version.

Working by contract via a company - is it good or bad?
Someone with experience?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Now you trapped yourself! You have to list all the good and all the bad factors...

It can be - there is often good money and freedom from company politics but there is an overhead in managing your own taxes and complying with company law.

Do you mean if I work for a company of which my work is on a contract? If so, if the contract goes south for the winter, and they have no other contract to stick you on, then you could get laid-off. Of which, I have experience.
So, yes it can be bad. However, while it is not bad, it can be good.

Worked at a site as a contractor for 7 years, then switched to employee. Stayed there another 5 years.
Now a contractor again (for almost 3 years) at a different site.
My experience has been positive.
When I left the previous position, it was to take the position I'm in now, and that is a position I wanted 20 years ago, but the opportunity never materialized. I didn't want to wait another 20 years to see what happens.
