As the CTO and a professional at jet-messaging, I would appreciate it if you stopped spamming Code Project with thinly veiled advertisements of your products.

I just emailed the company with his behavior. It rather disgusts me, the same message on several articles dealing with XML/XSD.

It disgusts you that someone is trying to promote their product a couple of times over 12 years? 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The posts I'm referring to are all dated today, Aug 26 2014. Of course, the articles themselves (like mine) are ancient.

5 from today and the other 3 from over 1 1/2 years ago.

Since I stopped developing almost exclusively on VAX/VMS, I have worked with Microsoft based systems. To that end, they have been part of keeping me gainfully employed.
I don't necessarily like or agree with everything they do, but I do like getting a paycheck.

I worked on VAX/VMS for many years good systems.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Hate to admit this, but I once put my paws on a VAX (and before that a PDP-1180, and a home-brewed LS-11 chipset-based contraption that was at the time sold by Heathkit).

 Same here. .net came out just before my last (final) VMS job ended. Similarly, SQL Server was becoming usable at that time.
|
|
|
|

Same here. I often think of myself as a parasite living on the body Microsoft.
I used VMS back in school, miss it some days.

They think of you the same way.

They think of all developers that way...

Nonsense. That's why nearly every product of theirs has an SDK. They want developers to make their products better.

In that case, we're more like probiotics, good for digestion

I can stomach that.

Haters gonna hate. I recently had to develop a solution targeting the Linux platform and after that experience I consider Microsoft to be 'the land of milk and honey'. Microsoft developer tools are superb and (more importantly) Microsoft provides outstanding SDKs and [legitimate] documentation for their APIs.

|

Exactly.

I have been making a living for over 15 years with primarily, Microsoft products. Whether I like it or not, they help me get paid.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. I've been writing code to Microsoft since DOS 1.1. MS is as good a platform as any, better than some.

My university years were spent on VAX/VMS systems and I can understand why you are grateful to Microsoft.

What? You didn't have those wonderful VT100s? They gave access to the editor, compiler, linker, debugger... all from one big solid device. 
Well, OK, we also had Turbo Pascal to show us what we were missing.

It was back in 1988 so I don't remember much other than the orange dumb terminals and the 2 hours of logon time we had in the first year.
Yes 2 hours of computer time on a computer science degree course!
They wanted to train us to figure everything out on paper and use the 2 hours for just typing in and running the code.
So the IDE was in effect paper and pencil 
I looked up the VT100 and it looks fairly advanced.
