It's a lot quicker to read in English.

It's quicker to read in C as well:
#define TheQuestion(b) ((b + b) | !(b + b))
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Or this one:
namespace Shakespeare
{
static class Hamlet
{
static Tbool TheQuestion<T>(T b)
{
return true;
}
}
}
BTW, your bracket formatting is god damn awful.

If you mean my "{" and "}" indentation, it's Whitesmiths - and it's the sensible way to do it!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

...so elephant off and take your "Windows 7 Build 7601 This copy of windows is not genuine" off my desktop!
Re-activation got rid of it, but that's annoying!
Mind you, I didn't get it last December with the update bug so I guess I shouldn't complain, probably.

Sounds like every version of Windows is an illegal copy. Windows 7 will be my last version

So you wont take advantage of the free upgrade to windows 10 then

No, I won't.
Even at the price of "free", it is still too expensive.

"Ooeeh, you're leaving the monopoly, you'll be starving from hunger"
You don't need Windows to run Windows-applications or .NET programs. I find it much more enjoying under 'nix. You keep following that Metro style if it makes you happy
That doesn't mean that I won't be developing under Windows any more - what I do at home differs from what I do at work.

Developers use machines that are issued to them. If you're given a *nix machine, then you use it to develop software -- and I've worked in Java houses where all but a small minority of the developers used Linux by choice.
Eddy was talking about what he will use for his personal machines, as was Griff, and as was everyone else including BS, until he decided that he could win some kind of victory by moving into the professional-machine camp.
I am also very tempted to dump Windows, and will probably do so just as soon as I find a flavour of Linux that isn't a total pain in the @rse to use.

Good luck with that.
I will continue to make sh*t loads of money using Windows and other Microsoft products. Hater gonna hate, as my kids say. Whatever.

Do you only know "adore" and "hate", and know nothing in-between?
It's a fruggin' operating system, for crying out loud.
No longer wanting to use software because of the directions it's going quite simply does not equate with "hate".

Like I said....whatever.
I think it is funny reading and listening to people hate on Microsoft for this or that. I don't get it. Sure they make some crappy stuff, but I am not going to "stop" using Windows because I don't know how to use it, or because it gives me message I don't like.
I make a very good living using Microsoft technologies. So obviously, they are doing something correct and I am doing something correct.
Cheers.

The ribbon interface is a genuine, hour-by-hour PITA, to me, and don't even mention the baby-blocks start screen, or the fact that every new version of Windows moves configuration options willy-nilly -- or, as is the case with Win 8 (which will no doubt continue into Win 10) removes the interfaces for them altogether, so you have to google to find the registry keys to change.
If, as appears to be the case, they want to turn Windows into a clone of iOS or Android, where you get what you get, and you can't configure anything without "cracking" the OS and a ridiculous amount of effort, fine, but that's not the OS for my desktops/laptops, just like iOS and Android aren't.

Ribbon interface, my thoughts:
The majority of people I have encountered like it or tolerate it well. Then there are those that don't, they are the minority not the majority.
Windows 8 is ugly and it sucks, I agree...but I can't stop using it. I have heard that with Windows 10, they are going to make it a little easier for us Windows 7 and earlier guys. We will see about that.
I like Android. Never used Apple, so I have no feelings about them. Though, my perception of Jobs was not good, so I formed an opinion of the company based on my opinion of Jobs, which like opinions, everyone has one.
When I said good luck with that, I meant it. Good luck with trying to do it "your" way. You either beat them or join them. Since I can't beat them, I join them. Just learn how to use the products, and put your opinions and emotions to the side, and it will be better.
If you fight the system, for the sake of spite, you will lose...my opinion.
Good luck.

There's ain't no beating or joining; all it does is make the hardware accessible.
You can develop for any operating system on any operating system, they've all got IDEs for just about every language -- Hell, all you really need to write programs is a text editor and an Internet connection.
Try to get your head away from this "You're a Windows guy or you're unemployable" idea, because all it's doing is making you less employable.

It's made me "more" employable, not less. Anyhow, I am ending this debate. Cheers.

What is it about this place, lately, that's making so many people think that they have the right to decide whether or not other people are allowed to talk?
If you don't want to contribute to a thread, then a: say that you don't want to contribute to it, and then b: don't contribute to it.
You do not have the right to tell anyone that they are not allowed to talk. You do not own CP, and you are not the boss of anyone here.
Feel free to not contribute further to this thread, since that is part and parcel of your stated intention.
However, be aware that specialising in one operating system does not increase your employability; it diminishes it.
Someone who can write the code that you write plus port it to another operating system will be considered a more valuable hire.
