The idea is to post about bugs in MS frameworks, and workarounds. Ideas: Why I use a Mac Microsoft Bugs Broken Promises anything better ?

            I think the name is fine, screw the fanboys - you won't make them happy unless you refrain from criticizing, in which case... why bother? But i do have one suggestion... Right now, the style is a bit... bland. Try some nice bright text on a darker background maybe?

                                    No suggestions per se, but it might be worth bearing in mind that if it takes off then it'd be sensible to have a "sensible" name. If you have a name such as "I Hate Microsoft" then if when it becomes popular then you'll probably spend half your time dealing with people who dislike the name. Just my 2p

The MicroNot Blog that's what I've got at this moment.

                                        Well, If he sticks with a more abrasive name, he should use the CP Lounge standard naming convention: Why Microsoft Sucks Today

                                          How about: Poor One Monkey With a Broken Typewriter Could Do Better You Gotta be Sh1tt1ng Me Yeah, nice try. Better luck next time, assholes Look man, did you wake up this morning and think "Yeah, I know I'm going to be really slack today" Any of those, or maybe just a symbol. The middle finger might be an appropriate candidate.

                                          print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text Ain't that Groovy?
