Since most of these people at Microsoft have nothing to do than collect the paycheck ... ya way to go with touching and retouching stuff that other people build and was working... it must be a rosey job being a Program Manager at MSFT...

An anthropomorphic invocation of Visual Studio wrote: rapid access to the most common ways that developers get to their code: whether it’s cloning from an online repository or opening an existing project

Double clicking on MyCurrentProject.sln has always done the job for me.
Can't they spend their time sorting out the crappy text search in SSMS instead?

Exactly.
The Way of the Future is to use nothing but third-party products in windows.
It used to be that you'd use third-party programs because of personal preferences, but now it's out of necessity.

The punishment should fit the crime. They should be made to spend spend every day peddling exercise bikes that power computers to mine bitcoins for their local schools.

There’s lots of research going into tiny drones, but one of the many hard parts is keeping them in the air for any real amount of time. Why not hitch a ride on something that already flies all day? Next step is to mount a little explosive on them...
I know! I saw it on a documentary once called Black Mirror.

So the bees have been dying out as a result of experimentation into what they can carry?
Sounds about right.

Microsoft said it uses updates issued in the latter half of the month to beta-test non-security features. We're all beta-testers now

Oh?
OK, I'm surprised.
Does ms still release finished code? I thought it gave up on that, years ago.

Or even a beta application. MS released multiple VS betas a few years back that had un/installers sufficiently broken that you couldn't do a side by side or upgrade install of the release version when it came out or remove the beta version; meaning your reward for testing a beta app was having to reinstall your OS.

In this post I will explore what you can do using only the code in the dotnet/coreclr repository and along the way we’ll find out more about how the runtime interacts with the wider .NET Ecosystem. Getting to the core of the matter

Since the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft received criticism for its data collection practices, with telemetry you can’t complelety turn off on the desktop OS. Earlier this week, users complained that Windows 10 apparently continues logging your Edge browsing history in the cloud even after disabling activity history on both the computer as well as online. "And we would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those pesky kids and that dog!"

Other slight glitches in naming by microsoft include:
- Renaming the X button in the window-control toolbox of the "Do you want to update to windows 10?" dialog from "Close", to "Install that cr@p without my permission".
- Naming windows 10 as "the best windows ever".
- Calling what Steve Ballmer did "dancing".
- Calling Clippy an "assistant".
- Missing out the "ef" at the beginning of "fluent".
- Calling the Nokia acquisition a smart move.
- Zune. Just Zune. I mean, Really.
- Calling every cack-handed UE **ck-up from vista to windows 8 to the current "material" cr@p "the way of the future".
