They do indeed own Windows... when you "buy a copy" of Windows, you are simply buying a license to use it (and incidentally getting a distribution of it).
1) you are correct, VISUAL STUDIO has a great debugger for its products - but that isn't.NET per se. The VC++ debugger is hands down the best in the industry but...
2) gdb will do everthing VCDB does, just not as easily (ok not even remotely as easily)
3) there are guys/gals at my work who write very tight code under gcc - they rarely need a debugger anyway. Their debugging is almost all done at design time
Posts like that are just going to rile up their audiance and deserve their low score. Grow up.
Some flamebait of my own: I will try to not look down my nose at you for being a VB "programmer."
Go to work each day shaverd and clean, keep a positive (if not upbeat) attitude, and be reponsive to your boss. Give a good effort to get the job done on time and to deliver a quality product......always keeping in mind that nothing that happens at work matters - at all.
Hey, capitalism - a blessing and curse all in one... just ask Indian consulting firms and the laid off American workers they replaced.
Look - MS has won. You are all right - their software sucks (but is Good Enough apparently), their business practices are flat out BS... but like it or not, people want Windows.
Not Linux. Not FreeBSD - which is dead:-) - and a few want OS X. Hey I personally think they are all neat in their own ways... and interesting from an academic perspective in others. Believe it or not I dropped out of a PH. D. program in Virology so Windows is somewhat compelling to me. haw
I really don't know why yins are so up in arms about MS's strong arm tactics. After all, DeBeers and OPEC make them look absolutely saintly - where is the geekesque indignity over them? Hey I guess we all think globally and act locally right?

Then how do we train them to do little tricks at our whim?
One could argue that there is some form of communication going on there.
I am sooo disappointed!
...whodathunkit.
Enough said.
Wishful thinking.
...he'd be 1/50th as rich as he is today! ;-)

Where did you come up with such a silly idea?
The debris was pieces of the other scupltures.
Not that Baltimore Harbor isn't as dank as water gets on this planet.
Let's face it - you are not a geek if you can't prove L'Hopital's Rule.
So much for your SlashFUD.
Christ you are even more idiotic than the original poster.
HAND... bitch.

I have. Visual Studio for one.
is doing everything I need it too.
Altho I run XP and RH9 at work.
so I would be too worried.
for dissing his lines.

Then when you go home, forget about it.
Even if the rest is the law.

If you think outsourcing overseas isn't an end run around US labor laws then you don't deserve the salary you seem to crow about.
Plus, keep in mind that there is a younger guy in India who can do your job for four figures.
Hmm, perhaps I should but that bee in your bosses bonnet....
Maybe yes to the last - but the others I doubt.
How could you truly enjoy a job when you know that in the US you could make 9x more for the same effort?
Underpaid by design - that can't go down easy.
Gendening did it too. I bet you didn't realize that your drivers license and car registration data was being warehoused in the Phillipines.
Yet it is, courtesy of Parris.
The company and the jobs were never there in the first place, so every job sent there is a net gain for them.
... and ask why it is a priority of the Ehrlich Administration to outsource as much Maryland state government work as possible overseas.
Yup, it's true, and I have the letter from one Boyd K. Rutherford (Secretary of General Services) to prove it.
He will regret ever sending that letter!
yes I know that stop light I tkink (there is one near Telegraph Road)
It was my nemesis - an unbeatable arbitor of justice!
What more is there? A secure operating system that people actually want.
;-)
People don't want Linux, people don't want Open BSD, a very very few artsy fartsy people want OSX.
What people want is Windows.
I know how perverse that sounds, but based on Bill's checking account balance I am willing to stand behind this statement.
