      Has Microsoft bought a share of CodeProject? All the Daily News are Microsoft this, Microsoft that! .NET this, .NET that! :java:

        CodeProject has always been and, I believe, was always intended to be a Microsoft-oriented site. Rumor has it that several of the early Microsoft top management folks slept with Bob before they discovered pretty girls. Once they were billionaires they had more options, of course. Other technologies are welcome, but we don't see them very often.

          How much programming is done for Microsoft operating systems*, and how much for other systems**? * By people who are willing to take part in something like CP. ** By people who are willing to step away from their mutual back-slapping/bitch-slapping societies and take part in something like CP.

            At CP we both :rose: MS and :mad: MS, although it has to be said that some :rose: more than :mad: and vice-versa.

                By using MSDN I came to the conclusion that if you are searching something Windows related MSDN search is actually more useful and accurate than many generic search engines. If only the .NET documentation was well crafted as the Win32 one...

                      You're lucky, I don't have neither hearts nor kegs. A life without love and alcohol (or at least one of the two) is an empty life :D

                                .NET's kinda been big in the news lately. But no, Microsoft haven't bought a share but if they have a spare squillion lying around then I'm happy to negotiate from our tax-friendly hollowed-out-volcano island HQ.

                                    Bad news, Chris; when he's drunk, Bob talks, and he's a cheap date. All those times you've been binging with the rodents in the server vault, Bob's been skipping over to Bullhead City for a little jet ski action and cheap beer. Like I said, he talks... I don't, of course, but I take notes... :rolleyes:

                                      If they ever do buy into the Project, don't forget that you promised, years ago, that the first 5,000 members would get Preferred Voting shares, and the rest mere non-voting Common stock. Or warrants to be granted at our whim...:cool:
