      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!

      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:

          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.

            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

                Question 12 about asking for the top three areas that you'd like to see improved - My response: Why only the top three? Instead of dickin' around, why don't you improve MSDN as a whole? -- modified at 12:10 Tuesday 16th October, 2007 Conjugation of "as a whole" is "asshole". See? I was being sensitive.

                  So, just about the only stories you're getting are about Endangered Communist Internet savvy Penguins that swear they are only building Nuclear sites to produce the energy they need to run the fusion reactors necessary to produce the proper cold they require to survive, because global warming conditions caused by the greedy, oil hungry blasphemous American dogs are heating up their homes, and destroying their entire ecosystem!?! Oh wait ... that's supposed to go into the Soapbox, isn't it. :rolleyes:

                                    And with that you've just completely *RUINED* my lunch hour. Thanks Doug!!! Now someone is going to have to mention Salma, Monica or Halle (or any combination thereof) to get things back in kilter!

                                      Nah, she looks too much like a teeny-bopper. Fine if you're a high school junior, but she's got none of the va-voom of the Triumvirate!

                                        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

                                          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:
