        Codeproject.com is considered a credable news source by major corporations such as Microsoft, and by keeping the stories credable will not only keep Codeproject.com's reputation but it also could become an internationally recognized source for IT news, if not the place to go for such news. I am sorry for being critical about a certain topic.

                  It's how I discovered this site, I have heard the sites name out of Microsoft reps, and possibly yes (I'll post it here when I find it when I have the time)

                    Oh. Yes, of course. That is the only path to greatness. My mistake. :doh: Just out of curiousity, what will you switch to after Windows 9 is officially announced? Will that be time to complain there is "no next version of Office"? "Visual Studio v.next doesn't exist"? "Apple isn't working on a new phone"? Help me out here. I want to know what news items to avoid to be great.

                          Mother of God, will he never shut up? Aside: I can't find "credable" in any dictionaries. Anyone know what it means? If it's not a real word, the OP will lose some credibility nothing will happen , because positive integers don't go below zero.

                            Maybe we should have a survey for that. It might well be a rare one, where I don't vote "Bacon".

                                  Elephants only got big ears when some of them moved to Africa to join terrorist organisations, to get revenge on the West after so many outsourced projects in India were dropped.

                                        Why should the 8 lie on it's side? Did it share your wine, or did you allude to how W8 has fallen over (all by itself)? :cool:

                                          Can you provide a source for Code Project being a NEWS source? I cannot find any, a superb resource for code etc, yes I can find lots of references, but news? if you want a NEWS site try the Register or CNET or one of the hundreds of other IT NEWS sites out there, or even the IT sections of NEWSPAPERS all of which are primary news sites not code resource with a bit of recycled news thrown in PS Can you name CP's reporters?

                                          You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
