As my collegue suggested, there should be Bill/Steve animated character guiding us throught MSDN :-D "Developers, Developers, Developers! Do you need my assistance?"

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

I use several IP masking services that route my traffic through Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, with a final destination of Antarctica. Damn. No wonder my connection is so slow and everything I read is either politically biased or sensored! I wonder what Condaleeza really looks like. Marc

2006, 2007Question 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:

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

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

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

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!

2006, 2007Thanks for that link. I hope it will be useful ? But, as a french I have a big problem with automatic translation from english to french on MSDN online. Often it's unreadable (pour ne pas dire tout simplement incompréhensible, inintelligible, illisible !). I have to type the number of the KB in its english version to get the original text in english which unfortunately makes me loose some time as I take about twice the time to read the same text in french. Can't they employ human translators ? OK, they already have a huge amount of texts to translate but if they never translate it correctly, I'm sorry to say that they don't fit my needs. What do you think about that "language barrier" (english or die) ?
