    ...thoroughly fed up / frustrated / disgusted with Visual Studio 2010? I believe MS has completely screwed the pooch on the ONE thing VS should do well; ATL COM DLL's. I installed this sucker the day it went RTM, and since that day, I've spent more time uninstalling, reinstalling and repairing it than I've spent getting actual work done. I have lost count of the number of times I've had to run the VS uninstaller tool to start from scratch!:mad: Disgustedly, D. T. Doutel

    Remember that MS has a habit of not uninstalling everything related only to the package being uninstalled.

      Yeah I know; I've been using the VS2010 Uninstaller utility, which as near as I can tell, actually does remove all of it. D. T. Doutel

            The customary location for "why xxx sucks" is the Lounge.

              I don't post often; I think the last time was over a year ago. In looking at the listbox, this one looked most appropriate. No "Lounge" listed.

                  You're right; if you know to look for it. Just delete the post, huh? That make you happier? Geez. I've seen far worse rants than this on here... This is a great reminder of why I work alone.

                      Well common sense should tell you to look first for the appropriate forum. Read the guidelines, read a few messages to see what the generally accepted protocols are ...

                          Don't be such a prima donna. Man up and suck it up. The Lounge has a long and noble history of suckage posts, and it has a much higher posting rate than anywhere else in CP, so it gets the most traffic. What you have here is a rant that doesn't violate any of the lounge rules; this forum is intended for rants that aren't suitable for the lounge (i.e. no swearing, no posts that you wouldn't want your kid sister to read, that type of thing).

                                Microsoft is slowly dying. Their monopoly has caused them to degenerate, people don't like their products anymore. With the crumbling of MS, new operating systems claiming comparability with Windows software (even though the architecture is new and ingenious), and all will be well.

                                  Really? People seemed pretty stoked with Windows 7, personally I find it nice for my home machine but don't really miss it at work, but that's almost entirely due to my different monitor layouts. Barring the typical "It's not identical to the old version" rants and "I can't run it on my thimble from 1987" complaints 7 hasn't had much against it. They just can't seem to do much in the mobile market, and the Zune is apparently under appreciated, and I'd still personally like to shoot them for the Xbox and driving games off of a real machine and onto a glorified arcade box. But the real products aren't half bad.
