I've just spent an evening with MacOS and it's apps trying to get stuff done. Things are crashing left right and centre, or locking up, or just not working.
The entire industry seems in a bit of a trough at the moment. Android is fractured and beyond insecure, Microsoft still has some sharp nails and wet paint on it's new toys, Mac / iOS is in a simply depressing decline in quality and user experience, and Blackberry are...gone.
How's Ubuntu these days? Anyone?
cheers

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

This just confirm to me that W10 is barely in beta anf will not be stable before 2017.

If w10 is beta, what was w8?
|

Gawd awful.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

At least it was stable (apparently). I mean, people had many issues with Windows 8, but most of them were related to the UI only.
It was a better beta, not speaking of the UI

Well I'll have to agree with ya on that "probably beta till 2017".
Windows update will need to get a LOT better before businesses are willing to go win10 I think.

I would think the clean way to resolve that dependency problem would be to install the VC++ 2010 redistributable. Reinstalling VS itself would be total overkill.
Or have I misread something?

true. much better idea.
and that's a download i can probably actually find.
did a prelim hunt for vs c++ express 2010 and, well, things have changed...

I'm pretty sure you don't have to look for something explicit to the Express version.
After installing, you'll probably want to give Windows Update a run.

installed that.
double click .sln file - nothin happens.
open with vs 2010 express - nothin happens.
went to add/remove programs - did repair. still broke.
so now looks like i get to try a new flavor of c++ express...
Looks like 2015 express for desktop is my first stab...
all i need is free c++ on bare metal win32 (and resedit)
so hopefully i don't need a new windows sdk for resedit
or debugging tools for windbg.
pray for me, please

Bit of a contradiction in terms, isn't it?

Well, what would you prefer. Javascript?

People keep giving them money. People who are less picky enlightened than you, obviously.

Nah, it's ok, I think I have figured it out. It's just that Microsoft and Google have much more convenience built in in their APIs.
Eventually you can get accustomed to this style of development but until then:

Doing a 4 day canoe trip on the Suwanee River from Fargo, GA to White Springs, FL where I live starting Black Friday.
Weather is going to be awesome and packed and ready to go!

So that's what I been hearing?

But what you really have to watch out for is when the drums stop... and the bass solo begins.

and then faintly in the distance;
Ah, sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah, I know at last the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
I'm sure the guide said third stream to the left...or was it right...oops!

You'll have to catch a lot of flies to get a meal out of it.
