Nice the way they have congregated together, leaving a lot of the beautiful land untouched by the ugliness of man. Hope they do not litter.

Every day it is crowder with literally millions of people, so many that the (very wide) pedestrian walkways are one-way -- if you want to go to a shop on the other side of the road, you have to walk past it, cross the road, and walk back.
Go there at midnight, when most of the shops have closed, and you would not believe anyone had been there at all; the place is spotless.
Three Londoners drop more litter then five million Shanghaiese. I actually try to talk Chinese people out of visiting London, because I know that their dreams of a beautiful city will be dashed by the ankle-deep cr@p. Better to keep the dreams

I was just walking to work in Universal City, and was noticing all the trash that was on the sidewalk and thinking of how humans just seem to be making with world ugly (I am in a bad mood, I am sorry).

That's the thing about China: if something is worth doing, you don't get a couple of hundred people having a go, you get a million.

Oooo! You fell for that old one? Oh dear, we really ought to put a warning on that...just to let people know that when they next log in, their rep has been reset to zero...

Shouldn't that many reputation points be a "reptillion"?

We're looking into having a Sharepoint portal hosted online. I've narrowed it down to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Rackspace. Anyone used either of these and can add their two cents?
Thanks!

Lack of awareness. The MS site I saw listed partners who provided this service and I wasn't impress with them. Now I have to add this among the other two.
Have you used this service from Microsoft?

Kind of - I worked for MS Sharepoint group for three+ years, so I used the Online version mostly for "dogfooding" and bug fixing. MS was taking it very seriously at the time.

From a SW perspective, I'm sure having them service it could be better than most. However, I'm not familiar with MS's hosting capabilities and that's what I would like more info on.
Thanks for the feedback though!

I still use it for our main application and am happy with it. The only new feature that is missing is word highlighting which, for it, i have installed WordLight. I generally hate the new Help viewer system and stuck with the old one . Besides, i don't see any real reason to migrate to new .Net 4 or 4.5, simply because i have not used any feature of those packages. To be honest, our application ( A Huge SCADA software, more than 200 KLOC ) is written in WinForms not WPF, and for IPC, we use .Net remoting, though it is slow in some scenarios and i am thinking to migrate to some free alternatives. Finally cross platform execution is a must have.
Do you have any experience in this root? any thought?

Yes, it's a horrible little country with high unemployment and crazy inflation and is years behind the times. Plus the grass is always greener...

If you can, I'd upgrade straight to VS2012. There are lots of little improvement in newer versions (parallel stacks etc.) Also the NuGet features of 2012 are awesome. Want NUnit or log4net? Then just add the package and the references are downloaded and added to the solution. That is awesome.

VsVim doesn't work with VS 2008. For me, it would be enough reason to migrate to a newer version.
