    I agree with you completely. BTW there's a way to revert the VS 2012 menus to regular capitalization: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2012/06/14/turn-off-the-uppercase-menu-in-visual-studio-2012.aspx

      And by gain market share you mean that it is even worse than Vista? http://www.zdnet.com/windows-8-continues-to-fail-7000016222/[^] I have a Windows Phone sitting nicely in my desk. I use my iPhone instead as it is more user friendly. I do develop in Windows and think it is great. They just messed it up with this one in particular.

        Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly. No old age population finds iphones friendly, but windows 8 continues to be picked up by people that have never had a cell phone, and comment if it wasn't for windows 8 I would never get into technology.

          And here you go again with a misconception. You write: "Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly." But instead it should be something like: "Anything that is not intuitive enough for someone that does not know how to use it, and if feels unnatural to learn is less user friendly." I think the last sentence was not user friendly. I like better "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" :) Case in point: my 2 year old toddler works the iPad up and down like an extension of her arm. Gave her the my Surface and Galaxy and she basically just asked for the iPad. And not because she is a toddler. This is common on all ages when introduced to technology.

            If you already learn a way of doing something as long as you are faced with a device that is different then the way you are used to - you will be confronted with what you think is bullshit.

                            I own a tv mounting company, a tv repair company which is the factory warranty repair center for all television brands I am internationally known, a real estate software company, Unidex software a company devoted to making software that competes with sql - it recently created 5 million records an hour. If you wish to send a package to that location you are more then welcome, but I own over 14,000 acres added up from close to 50 properties spread across Canada, Including 2 strip malls. Senselessness only comes from those not welling to understand.

                                        Good! Great to be from a rich family to get started and then setup Unidex software as the crown Jewel. Demos look nice. It is probably all because of your hard work learning XAML. Piece of advice, don't rely only on Facebook for setting up your company - I know you just opened it in August. Buy a domain, pretty cheap in Godaddy and given that you own millions (nice to be royalty!) it should be easy. I am sure your grand dad Fred who was member of the Legislative Assembly would've been happy - try your best to make your family proud! This includes Tim, Steve, Dan, Joe and the women too.

                                          One more piece of advice. If you upload pictures never forget to remove exif values. Especially if you post views from your place. Any self respecting geek can find out where you live, where you work, where you move around. It is pretty creepy! Also, there is too much information going around in the web! Being not nice is not recommended! Good luck on your realtor business! Word of advice though, looking at your MSDN activity, I can see that you are a prick there too. Remember that you can get places being nice, but being a pain will get you no where. Of course, you are just an entitled young brat who does not know better. Learn to respect others and you will enjoy a nicer life! Be humble, care for others and stop being a me me me me A type. Just looking at this, Renee and others were being nice. You asked for help to begin with, but then you just insult them. That's not nice. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/dbf6f4f4-b037-4f56-940b-940f425aab15/how-do-i-transport-a-textbox?forum=vbgeneral[^]
