Being a Good Samaritan that I am, I feel tempted to downvote some of your posts so you can re-live the joy of reaching 100K again.  Congrats anyway.

Get ready. Join the Telerik Keynote on Feb 12.
What is this garbage on the home page??
I can't wait.

I found this keynote title really badly worded as they market themselves as a mobile app dev platform.

In an earlier post[^] by OriginalGriff, he noted a "feature" of VS2nnn "by mistake" and noted about this being a way to make boilerplates in VS.
You can do this by creating a basic function with a Try/Catch, copy it, paste it into the VS toolbox, rename it accordingly (I use 00_NewFunctTryCatch to cause it to show at the top of the list of Boilerplates, as you noted) then assign a keyboard shortcut, and off ya go!
I also have 00_TryCatch which only puts in a try catch.
Now, if you *REALLY* wanna beef up your entire computer, go get QuicKeys 3.0 for Windows at Startly.com[^]
(NOTE: I have no connection to this biz, other than using their products.)
I've used QuicKeys for 23+ of my programming & daily computer use years, both Mac & Windows. QuicKeys works in Win7; haven't tried Win8, though. Has a 30-day trial period.
Honest, not trying to "sell" it (wherein I get something in return), just highly passioned toward tools that not only make programming/computing life easier, but tools on my system that make it ROCK!
Best damned macro/automation/keyboard shortcut tool/app there ever was and is.
Example #1: Type Shift-Ctrl-T and a "Try/Catch" is inserted (VS2nnn-specific shortcut)
Example #2: Type Ctrl-[ and [] is inserted with the cursor then moved back between them so I can start typing the table or column name [SQL Mgmt Studio-specific]
Example #3: I had to change 6,500+ records through an archaic GUI, having no access to the SQL database. Took me10 minutes to setup a "repeat" QuicKeys sequence (7 minutes testing/refining it...), fired it up, went on a 15 minute break, came back and all the records were updated. Saved about 2 hours of flustering manual repetitive keyboard data entry.

Yeah, I tried Auto Hot Key.
I prefer QKeys.

A good review of QuicKeys, thanks !
I note on their site there is no "official" mention of it working in Win 7, or Win 8; issues using it in Win 7 are discussed on their user forum: [^].
US $60 for a utility is pricey ... for me.

http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2014/02/03/windows-xp-resists-death-sentence/[^]
XP rises slightly (not significant, probably just sampling)
But...the market share is interesting:
Windows 7 47.49%
XP 29.23%
8 6.63%
8.1 3.95%
Vista 3.3%
And Win 7 was at 25% at the same stage in it's release as Win8 is now...bodes well for Windows 9 I guess.

Not sure about accuracy but some cool indicators, not sure about correlation either, but pretty fair layout of info. Thanks.

After seeing Win 8-8.1 you excepted something else?

I didn't, but there are some evangelists here who would like to believe otherwise...

I was myself a big believer of the Microsoft up-down (one version good - one bad), but 8.1 somehow broke me, but maybe it's not a new version after all and I only have to wait...

I believe that Win 8.1 is reasonably good.
I don't consider myself being an evangelist, but as far as I can recall there was more than a 1 year timeframe between Vista and 7.
Apart from that I navigate through most of the menus with the keyboard ([Win]+[E] to get to the Explorer, [Win]+[L] to lock the computer) and therefore I am not limited in doing what I need to.
The only big improvement I can see (and which is still my dream) that you could move the App-Windows around like normal Windows, on a full-screen "Desktop" (which possibliy could be a user-chosen image). Apart from that I am satisfied with the full-screen start menu home.
