.NET 3.What?
-
That's a great petition and, had I known about it, I would've signed it! I'm beginning to think that petitions in general rarely work (can anyone point me to any significant ones that have?)

I did get a reply[^] from Jason and some attention in the press[^], but you're right, in the end it didn't do much.

Chris, Here's another confusing bit: WPF 1.0 was part of .NET 3, right? Ok, fine. .NET 3.5 comes out, and now it's called WPF 3.5! Ha! While I agree it's confusing that the CLR, .NET framework, the languages, and the various APIs like WPF all have their own versions that makes it confusing, I do remember devs were complaining that leaving it "WinFX" was confusing. I remember a Slashdot article where everyone was like, "WinFX? What ever happened to .NET? I guess that means .NET failed! Woo! Down with M$!" So I guess I'm not sure of a better way to do this. If the CLR, .NET framework, languages, and APIs all shared the same version number, one could not increment version number without all of them incrementing. Which would mean C# 3 would be the same as C# 2, which seems equally confusing.

Ah, Slashdot. That bastion of intelligent, thoughtful discussions on Microsoft.

Me too - the only problem I have with Vista is that my display driver gets a little glitched when I try to connect a projector to the video-out port on my laptop - sometimes I get no signal. For everything else, I love it.
Mind you, nVidia did play a huge part in driving Vista's reputation into the ground with their absolutely horrible drivers. Oh, and the fact that people believe Windows hasn't made any technical advancements thanks yet again to the dumb decision to move WinFX to .NET. And yes I do mean a version number of 2010 or what not, not just a product name. .NET supports version number segments of up to 65535, so we might as well.

It is possible. The first beta of .NET 1.0 was released in 2000.

Interesting - I never even mentioned that my laptop has a GeForce 8600 card and you're talking about nVidia anyway.

I disagree, if you want to work with something you must at least know a bit of what you are talking about, it doesn't matter if he is an expert in JAVA and knows nothing of C# if that is what he is going to work with. First, learn the language/tool, then you can go for it. This just proves he "lied" about his expertise and I think that is enough reason to not give him a job.
Now aggreed. After facing this issue.
