          :) It's not that bad if you are into managed frameworks.

              Well that was the whole purpose of MSDN magazine, promote leading edge technologies by introducing developers to them.

                While that is true, it doesn't relieve my irritation at how Microsoft has essentially abandoned development for the desktop in general, and the native mode tool chain in particular. This abandonment is evident in the content of MSDN Magazine, which treats these topic areas as an afterthought or a mere adjunct to managed development.

                  It is not just Microsoft it is the direction where the development is moving in general. See my post above about Google I/O keynote.

                        Abandoned "the native mode tool chain in particular" I would agree with. Even Petzold has embraced .NET. But "essentially abandoned development for the desktop in general" is a bit overblown. Though I'll admit the coverage lately has been heavy on Azure, Visual Studio and bleeding edge .NET 4 features. MSDN Mag is influenced by Microsoft marketing and product cycles. It's also heavily influenced by the what's hot inside Microsoft and what they're working on today. That's kind of the appeal: it's an inside look at what Microsoft coders are excited about, which typically means stuff that just shipped or is under development. The good new is that Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 are coming into focus, which means more coverage of that kind of thing. Disclaimer: I am an editor at MSDN Magazine and have been associated with it on and off since the MSJ days.
