    VB. Say no more. ;P I'll wait a little while until the VB guys have reached the end of those sentences before they flame-grill my whopping a*se. It takes them a while with the bigger words.

      I know the B stands for BASIC, but the V puzzles me? Very? Vacuously? Vicariously? another v-word even longer than the last with a Question Mark after it?

        Actually, although they never admitted it, MS designed it to be Vapidly Bad.

                "applies only to a very specific scenario" You can find a bug in any program if you try enough scenarios.

                    VB == Visual Basic? That's what I always thought anyways :P

                      I think they just mean they expect it to be rarely encountered. (That it is rarely encountered may or may not be true but that's what they mean.)

                          I am Not anti VB, some of my best friends have VB, I just don't want it rammed down my throat. I wonder if the BBC will ban anti VB sentiment in case it upsets those of a VB persuasion? I have hung out in VB forums, seen non VB'ers even give it a go before making their life choices. I am sure we have all had thoughts in that direction when we were young and confused about our orientation. Some poor sods use COBOL, think of them at this time of year, as they hang out at conventions and chatrooms, hoping to strike up a conversation with an old acquaintance who will help them feed their Habit family this yuletide. No, it is wrong to discriminate against those of a different coding preference... What am I talking about? Matron, have they served the tea yet? :)

                            I think an actual sample solution that demonstrates the problem would have been clearer. That's all 'put tab A in slot B' and the diagram doesn't help much either.

                                      Ok I see that now but if this is limited to VB why wouldn't they spell that out very clearly in the list of products effected?

                                        why wouldn't they spell that out very clearly in the list of products effected?

                                        They're just listing all that lot because the default install will install all the languages. But I agree they should emphasise that it's a VB-specific issue.

                                          A friend of mine is a VB user and wants to know where he can get help. ;) There is no VBists anonymous in his town.

                                          You always pass failure on the way to success.
