    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.

        Windows 8 would be the most beautiful thing in the world if it wasn't called windows and didn't support the desktop.

                    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.

                          Oh so you inherited your money! That was easy! Now go code, Mr Cable Guy. Isn't that what you are trying to do, learn, but instead you are just a lurker that adds no value?

                                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[^]

                                      Unidex software is over 10 years old, and has never advertised doesn't need too. It was written in .net 1.1, I copied the code into a windows 8 library for the windows store, and didn't require any changes I have spent my life since 16 on this project, its a lot more then $193.

                                        Unidex stands for Unicode Indexing - It is the only piece of code that indexes memory by using actual characters instead of numbers - and removes the need for sql statements.

                                          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[^]

                                          Getting nice gets you no where in this world, but is a way of asking for someone else's acceptance. I want everyone to find me and know everything, instead of being a creepy geek that thinks that matters and actually am in control of my life, try to steal my identity I dare you ;)
