So you missed reading the reports where ms says it's unhappy because so many developers are bypassing their personal-information-gathering spyware saintly telemetry functions?
Not much point in stopping them spying on you helping you with their saintly telemetry functions if you're just going to allow them direct access to you.

Got any links for this? I'd like to read more.
I know there was some brouhaha over them doing this for C++ code (which they supposedly removed in Update 3), but I hadn't heard any more after that.

I'm pretty sure it was in an article in the Insider News (since that's just about the only place where I read tech news).
It was going on about how developers and the tech elite were putting themselves more at risk because they knew how to get around winio's forced updates.

Ah, ok - that's different than what I was thinking about. The issue I had in mind was something that happened in May/June of last year where the VS C++ compiler was injecting Microsoft telemetry calls into your compiled binaries.

I suppose this version does a better job of hiding the telemetrics code that it stealthly inserts into your exe.

It is far from ready for final release, and they plan for that on 7 March. I was having a beautiful time writing a WPF app with a .NET Core web API as data source, but then I had to "quickly" do an MVC web app with a web api data source. 2017 is nowhere ready enough for debugging web apps. I have to start the app with dotnet run, then start the remote debugger (added an External Tool to do that), even if the site isn't remote, then attach to the dotnet process. I used to just press F5.

Dear Experts
Usually I finish my mails with:
Kind regards
XYZ
Now my "not programming"  question:
Is it correct or appropriate I mean this "kind regards" or is it too personal for a business correspondence?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Bruno

A formal business letter is normally ended with "yours sincerely", "your faithfully" or "yours truly" depending on the context. Emails tend to be ended with "regards", "kind regards", "thanks and regards" or any other appropriate greeting, again depending on the context.

Thank you very much for your Explanation.
The very formal I do like you mention with
Yours sincerely
FirstName Name
So what I'm thinking to understand from your answer "Kind regards" is ok for non formal?

For informal, friends and strangers, I just end with
Cheers[1]

Not something I have ever heard from my Afrikaaner daughter-in-law. However, now she has been granted British Citizenship we will need to teach her how to speak English properly:
i.e. mispronounced, ungrammatical and full of slang.

No, not in common use among Afrikaaners, except for an occasional, malformed 'tchee-errs'.
Teach her well, all you say you will, please.

For formal letters, the general rule is that you use "Yours sincerely" (or "Sincerely yours" in the USA) when you've addressed the letter by name, and "Your faithfully" when you've used a non-specific address - "Dear Sirs", "Dear Sir/Madam", etc.
word choice - Is it "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange[^]
But most email messages don't require this level of formality.
Just try to avoid signing emails to your customers with "love from" or "XOXO".

Thank you for this.
"Your faithfully" sounds very strange for me after consulting http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/Your%20faithfully but I trust you that it is ok.
[Edit]
I'am a late bloomer, I know it  . "xoxo" I need to test it near to coco (compiler compiler)

As Richard said.
Faithfully & sincerely are formal but the meaning and usage is clear. If an e-mail is written as a letter, I always start Dear X/Sir/Madam/Alien Overlord and add the corresponding salutation. When it is an informal note, I would sign off 'Thanks', 'Looking forward to your ideas/whatver'.

Dear Alien Overlord
Thank you for clarification.
Yours faithfully (facefully?  )

Sounds OK to me.
Maybe I should use that instead of "stuff it".

At the start of my programming career, more than 20 years ago, I used to write:
Byte and Regards
Gradually as I moved up the management ladder, I started using:
Thanks and Regards
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your Input.
So you mean I Need to start with
Bit and Regards
