It just hit me

MSDN has become bloated in my opinion, There also seem to be a lot of multiple entries of the same stuff, and it often becomes impossible to find anything worth while even thought a search can bring back lots of results. Regardz Colin J Davies

I'd have to agree, I check back at the homepage for any articles every two weeks or so but in general I don't expect much -- except whenever I look for anything regarding the API or MFC. If I do that I expect to wade through 2 pages of results for Windows CE first :mad: -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.

harder than a speeding 18-wheeler running over me. The contents of CP must be worth millions of dollars. Considering the amount of time that have been put into the articles and the average consultant salary, it must be a huge pile of cash! And the absolutely best part is that it's completly free to use! I'm not paying a cent for accessing it! Absolutely amazing! The competitors just doesn't reach the CP standard, not free of charge, and both of the above. What's even cooler is that you can actually publish your own stuff as easy as one, two, three, without having to go through bureaucracy. Simply amazing. :cool: -- Iron Maiden (Harris/Gers) wrote: The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool Who are you kidding being that cool?
Absolutely, this place totally rocks :) I honestly do learn something every day from here, admittedly I'm not a particularly high point of knowledge anyway so the baseline is already pretty low, but its good nonetheless :) Everyone, keep up the good work -- editors, readers and contributors alike. -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.

I agree CP is a great resource to have free apart from banner ads. At CP's current growth, it must become more valuable than MSDN at some stage. Regardz Colin J Davies

Yes, the best way to search MS stuff is already via Google, But really MS needs to get people in there organizing MSDN properly. Every couple of years they seem to start with a totally different vision from the last organization, and the job only gets partially done. As more docs get reposited in MSDN the situation can only get worse. Regardz Colin J Davies
