    Microsoft has given you another opportunity to show us your great anti-Microsoft wit.

    On a serious note: Has another company come close to supporting it's developers better than Microsoft?

    So, they cancel a PDC. So what?

    I keep reminding people that Microsoft is a MARKETING driven organization. No doubt, when they schedule the next PDC, it will be for THEIR benefit, not yours.

    Dont like it? There are other options available.

    Why bitch, bitches?

    My god, you really are a fanatic OSS troll, I can't believe they moded you "Insightful" (are you Richard Stallman ? That would explain everything). I can't believe that you believe half the stuff that you just wrote, and I can't believe that you claim it as if all non-believers are just plain stupid. I mean, you sound like a teenager that just spent the last few months in a taliban camp, seriously - maybe you forgot to write "die Micro$oft, die slowly and in pain"... pretty rude post.
