It doesn't seem very accurate for the middle east or the north of the african continent, considering all the trouble around there at the moment.

Denmark shot to the top of this chart when I left the country. It's called the SoMad Factor.

I think Blighty got (more) depressed after I left. Yeah, that must be the reason!

Me too but according to the survey I guess I should move. Just a side note - With all that's been going on the last few years here I didn't really need a survey.

The Danes are smoking, drinking and eating fatty food like there is no tomorrow.
I think they're on to something.

The survey is a little off as far as I can tell. Mexico is #16 and US is #17, if they're so freakin happy why are they all trying to come here?
|
|
|
|
|
I did say it was highly accurate, how could they not be true? They might have interviewed all the happy people staying behind in Mexico.

You're right they had to be accurate, they must of interviewed people with jobs.

They are bringing happiness to you...

Nope, doesn't compute: Italy should be at #1 then, instead it's at #45.

They eat snails in Belgium.
That's all I have to say on the matter.

They eat snails in England. http://www.snailfarm.org.uk/[^]
Apart from the aqueduct, the sanitation and the roads, it's one of the things that the Romans did for us!

I didn't say that England doesn't have its share of nutters -- but nutter-being isn't a national institution.

Belgium has chocolate. Great ones.
And mayo on the French fries, if I am correct.

Am I the only one who keeps seeing these ridiculous articles about Microsoft dying, and reading only blindered screeds about how Microsoft's CONSUMER efforts are an utter failure, and wanting to scream, "LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE MARKET, YOU MORONS!!!"?
Do these people have any clue how much the SMB market has invested in Microsoft's enterprise stuff, and CONTINUES to invest in their product set? And not only on the infrastructure side, i.e. Office/Sharepoint/Exchange - the platform's development stack as well! When many, many companies rely on your server OS running your web development stack backed by your relational database offering, to drive big, long-life-cycle LOB and web-facing applications, you are DOING PRETTY WELL.
Every business offering they make, they have legit competitors, no question. But no one can question that they are putting a TON of resources into improving those offerings, especially on the web side, where they have dumped a lot of time and effort into making ASP.Net a much better, more competitive offering. I really like Linux, and completely understand why it has the mindshare among the startup-type crowd. And Google is offering a compelling Office + Exchange alternative, especially for smaller setups. And SQL Server's got "NoSQL" on it's tail. But in all these cases, Microsoft is the Top Dog - and those competitors have had enough time to mature that it seems to me Microsoft still has the edge and the position of strength. I personally have worked off numerous platforms, but keep coming back to .Net because it's where the overall developer demand is, and where a lot of innovation is still taking place. Somebody with a bigger voice than me, PLEASE tell these Apple/Android idiots that whether or not Microsoft is loudly and publicly pushing "Consumer" over "Enterprise", AT LEAST GET YOUR ARGUMENTS RIGHT. Microsoft will die when somebody (or somebodies) takes away that ENTERPRISE play, NOT when they make a subpar tablet and can't sell it!!!
And all kids should get off my lawn. Thank you.

Microsoft couldn't give a sh*t about
a. Enterprise Market
b. Developers.
As a Microsoft Developer for over 20 years, I'm afraid to say I developing for Android and looking at other frameworks.
I now own an Android Phone
I now use Ubuntu for my media Player
I'm buying a Sony Play Station
Had a good time with Microsoft and their excellent development tools, but its time to move on Microsoft don't care any more.
