Its a good theory, guess that guy gets the credit, wasn't aware that he beat me to the punch.
Like my mom always says (yes I just said that Wink | ;)

) If it's an amazing idea someone's probably already thought of it.

Even number are flops so I guess they see this version as another in the ME, Vista or WIndow 8.n series of losers?

New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta

Thanks Pete am downloading the Tech. Preview now. Just viewing the video I don't see a revolutionary release that would make me want to leave Windows 7 but will see.

I am not a "tech enthusiast." I'm a well-paid consultant, and if Microsoft wants my feedback (other than I think the W8 / tile whole look is a major step backwards), they can damn well pay me to try their "not everything is working" software. Besides which, nobody listens to free advice. If they pay $250/hr for advice, then there's a better chance that they'll listen.

[edit]Ironically, the fact that Store apps are now sizeable, the start menu has returned, and W10 seems to have a more more sophisticated "snap" feature (but still limited to only 4 apps? Come on, there must be a third party plug-in that does much better) and additional desktops (stolen from the Mac, *nix, and 3rd party) does make is more interesting to me. As to "live" tiles, I still hate them. As to multitasking, someone should tell Microsoft that multitasking shrinks your brain. Smile | :)

That is how I am feeling about frackin web service frackin development using frackin WfrackinCfrackinF.

Why all the fugging magic config? I have tried my mightiest to find in ONE FRACKIN place an explaination of what goes where. It is all over the frackin place.

MSDN? Mostly Satanic Deathly Nonsense!

I feel your pain. It's grim. But, once you've got it right you just never go near it again and it's pretty straight forward from there.

Well, Configuring Services[^] sounds like a good place to start.

Then there's the WCF configuration file schema[^], which lists the available elements.

There's a configuration editor GUI[^] if you don't like editing XML files.

And, if all else fails, there's always the WCF forum[^].

You should have tried it before there was a GUI to set it up for you[^].
Once it's set up, as someone (Rob?) says you don't normally have to touch it.

I gave up WCF for the EXACT same reasons.

The code behind it all is stupid simple. The config is a total nightmare.

I now use ASP.Net Web API's. Very easy to set up, add to, and maintain.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is
