First, let me just say that this seems great. It looks like a perfect way to use reasonable defaults (project name, Version) and use the existing `dotnet publish` infrastructure to make containers. And I love how the blog post has both a si

This is like opening a time capsule and examining all the little details. Almost more interesting than the barebones, locked-in-time product page for a paid C compiler, is the locked-in-time cgi-bin-powered shopping cart page at http:&#x2F

A reasonable high-enough DPI option I've been watching for a while is a 55" 8K TV. We're close to the 8K utopia! - HDMI 2.1 can push 8K @ 60Hz over a single cable (though I am told the colors are not full range? https:/

I hope people don't actually believe PowerShell is NIH. PowerShell had good reasons to exist in 2006, when it was released to the public. LINQ didn't exist yet, most of the "Windows scripting" took place via VBScript fil

Thank you. Outlook 2007 and 2010 have a) flags, b) user-taggable-color-coded categories, c) an extremely usable ToDo bar, and d) Xobni and a million other plugins that attempt to prioritize your incoming mail automatically. I'm not saying O

Nope. At work we have a similar setup.exe file. The setup.exe is a bootstrapper that installs prerequisites first, then runs the ClickOnce installer which is separate.

A lot of people in the comments here miss the context: this was written by Microsoft ecosystem developers. Some of the items on the list specifically target Microsoft MVPs and Regional Directors, the shots at "snacks" and "T-shirts" aim at

If you haven't even seen Windows 8, please don't comment on it. It's clear from even a quick look at Windows 8 what awkward transition between "tablet" and "desktop" he's talking about.

I blame XAML, and I'm justified. Some of my teammates here have changed Visual Studio to open XAML files with the XML editor, which means * Visual Studio no longer crashes all the time, and * they lose all XAML intellisense. I choose to kee

I've worked as the IT guy in a hospital, and have talked to our "finance guy", and he says the same thing--outpatient surgeries and childbirths pay for Medicare (in)patients and the ER. And yes, there is inefficiency unrelated to Medicare,

The 'official toolkit' Metro is XAML + (C++ or .NET or MSHTML5). I've been told by a (true) Silverlight/WPF expert that the Win8 XAML most resembles the Silverlight API. Silverlight used to be promoted as: * Flex/Flash compete * Public web

A lot of us are indeed skeptical. MS has a history of doing focused marketing. The ongoing BUILD conference is currently marketing Win8/WinRT. A past push that sticks out to me most is the "3 pillars of Longhorn (Vista)". The vast majority

A nice fantasy would be that Windows 7 replaces XP as the new "business OS" line for the next decade (XP has served in this role since ~2002). Windows 8/9/onward would then be free to deviate from backwards compatibility in favor of a bette
