So because I wonder why he hates Microsoft so much that makes me a fanlemming? Or because I don't have the same problems he does that I am not a "real" developer and not doing "real work"? That's tells me you are not rational enough to have this conversation. Have a good day.

rational enough to tell the difference between someone reporting real issues and another replying that he's just being a hater.

You [CDP1802] and Mark and now Loptair add on a ton of assumptions to my simple remarks. That's on you.
what's that called when everybody is telling you the same thing and you still don't get it?

That sums it up quite well. For me, the operating system is a part of the computer, just like the processor or the hard disk. It's the best case if it simply does what it should and stays out of the way otherwise.
I don't want to adore it. I don't need updates every day. I don't hyperventilate over new features (which I quite often don't use anyway). And that's, from Microsoft's view, a problem. I'm not supposed to be too happy with that thing as it is. They want to usher me to their next grand vision, no matter how credible their ideas look after the minor errors of the last ten years. Vista was a mistake, Win 8 was a mistake and now the shady little tricks to get people to upgrade to Win 10 were just short of the ways criminals trick you into installing their malware on your computer.
If every company from which I ever bought something from would behave that way, I would feel like a masochist for putting up with their ideas. And no, Ryan, it's not ok just because others try to do the same. If they do, they are also on their way out. As things are now, I will not bet a single cent on Microsoft and that's the only thing in the world that may persuade them to think over their behavior. If you let them get away with it, they will only get worse.

I never said it was. From the beginning you have assumed that me telling you Microsoft is the best there is somehow means I defend what they do. It's like when someone says I hate one political candidate it must mean you support the other. You and Mark and now Loptair add on a ton of assumptions to my simple remarks. That's on you.

Sure you did. Something like 'how can you say something like that when all the others do just the same?'

No, I said something about why are you only upset at them when others do the same. I never justified it.

If you say you are. If you go back and read my OP, I try very hard not to make assumptions outside of what you say.

No, I am not. For just the same reasons.

Leave me out of your trolling.
I, like CDP and many others, have genuine complaints about microsoft's behaviour, over the last ten years -- e.g. their lack of fixing problems that have been causing trouble for people for years, their addition of "features" that serve only to make simple things harder to do, and their intrusions into our property and personal data.
But I will not discuss such things with fanboi trolls like you, who either only ever use computers to write letters to their aging aunties, or blatantly lie about not having problems with windows, because intelligent discussion cannot be had with trolls. Or fanbois.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

And no one, that I have seen, has ever said otherwise. The fact that you think I have shows you are not rational on this subject and cannot carry a civilized conversation.

That says a lot about how you interpret opposition on the internet. There's a book written that explains what happened to you as a child to make you this way and for the sake of not embarrassing you online, I'm going to ignore you. But just know, I know why you behave this way, I'm sorry you were treated that way as a child, and I forgive you. Have a good life. I hope you can recover.

When I hear the word: "Blend", I immediately think of Blend Behaviors. These behaviors relieved me to a large extent from Attached Properties (yuck!) and Attached Behaviors (double yuck!). I dislike the latter two entities, because they require a host of static methods and variables in a static class (did I say yuck?), resulting in limited encapsulation and the risk of memory leaks.
However, you don't need to believe me. Read the short article by a renowned expert, Brian Noyes, on the matter:
Attached Behaviors vs Attached Properties vs Blend Behaviors[^]
Today I use Blend Behaviors almost exclusively. Thanks to the Blend team and thanks to Brian for an excellent article that opened a whole new perspective for me!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
