    Funny, though we'd still never find anything. They'd be too busy waving pompoms in the air. I really can't stand technology cheerleaders.

      Cool it! This isn't a survey being done here in the forums. Microsoft is conducting a survery though, here[^]. Take it out on them!

      Done - maybe this will result in MSDN search actually being fixed. Ha! Who am I kidding!

        The survey sucks, after the last question, there is a "Done" button, and when I press it, I get a blank page.

          Actually, it takes you to the MSDN ... just wait for about 30 mins for it load. :rolleyes: -- modified at 11:37 Tuesday 16th October, 2007 This was actually a reply to Maximilien's post ... but the CP Worm Hole has obviously caused a shift in the threads once again, resulting in a distorted view of message reality. :~

                  It doesn't seem to like that I gave a "5" to "non-Microsoft content sites" for where I find the best help. It keeps repeating that page. I guess I have to be more conformant. Marc

                    I would suggest the Office Assistant Character set be introduced again. That way, the preferred Animated Character can be chosen by the user itself to manage through the MSDN ocean with ease. Abolishing them ^ from the face of Office 2007 is a sign of diehard cruelty.:mad:

                        No, they want you to stay connected to the site long enough, so that they can track your IP down, and map the location via Microsoft Virtual Earth. When they said they wanted to 'fix' things, Marc, I'm not sure you understood exactly how they intended to make that happen ... Run Marc. Run. ;P

                                    It doesn't seem to like that I gave a "5" to "non-Microsoft content sites" for where I find the best help. It keeps repeating that page. I guess I have to be more conformant. Marc

                                    it wants you to give the site name, that is all. So they know who to buy out or destroy. ;P

                                      Cool it! This isn't a survey being done here in the forums. Microsoft is conducting a survery though, here[^]. Take it out on them!

                                      This is far from the first survey on the msdn documentation, they ignored all my suggestions the last time, why bother again? :)

                                          Why, was it unclear for you? :) Perhaps you'd prefer a hearty "Froozle Fraglelbarts!"? :)
