Really? We've pretty much all known that for the last 5 years.

I hope that helps to get some people to at least win7.
So far I heard it looks to different... lol.. Imagine if they migrate to win8..

I've put a fresh copy into a VM just for history sake. I use 7 now, of course, but WinXP was a real gem especially after it had a couple of SP's under its belt.

No, just for history sake.

You can find a copy on eBay for about $50.

Has anybody ever worked in a development position and the people you work with actually made you hate your job or is it just me?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I hate my jobsometimes. Its when they make me do some boring and uninteresting stuff like making a documentation. I blame my boss.

Yes, but you can't have fun the whole time. Some things that need doing are boring.
As long as no one gets singled out to do all the bad stuff, or all the good stuff.

When I was a teenager I got a 9:00 to 9:30 job 6 days a week. Got pretty good at eating lunch in 5 minutes, napping 20, and not having to be nudged awake. That was around 4AM. Documentation? I'll be happy to do it.

I thought development starts with writing documentation...

In my case we started with no documentation at all only few bad written specifications. Then we wrote some of the code(around 80 %) and start changing things because the specification writers didn't think of everything carefully enough.
After we "finished" my boss told me to make documentation on how things work o.O with no requirements, no examples it was said: Make documentation with graphics.
The task was for me alone and instead of only doing documentation i also did code review and found few bugs, guess who gonna fix them.

I told her if I was thinking it through to that much, then I was programming it, not writing specifications.
