    I got an email today from the MS support team, saying they are going to review a change suggestion I support. I thought "I don't remember anything about it" - so I followed the link: Open links in an actual browser – Visual Studio[^] Oh yes - VS should open help and such like in the default browser instead of inside VS. I remember that now, but wasn't that a while ago? Oh yes. Four years. It's taken MS four years to notice suggestions - not to implement them, no. Not even to decide to schedule them for implementation. Four years to to go "Oh. Yes. maybe an idea, that. Let's think about it". Fer Elephants Sake MS! No wonder you don't make any impact in the mobile devices market if everything you do is over four years late...the competition will have released three or four updated devices by then! Does explain a lot about Windows Mobile though... :laugh:

        Wow. That is slow, even for microsoft? You get the impression that someone was bored at work and just started scrolling through the suggestion pile and coincidentally happened on yours... "Why didn't we think of that? Open web pages in a standards compliant browser? Hmmmm...." lol That being said, don't tell anyone, but Visual Studio is still one of my favourite IDEs... Shhh... It's our little secret... ;)

        Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now. How about a good fart to break the silence?

                          Here's what got me looking for this feature: I get this error when I try to open a jsoneditoronline link in the Visual Studio 2012 browser: "Error: Unsupported browser, IE9 or newer required. Please install the newest version of your browser." It's a pain not to be able to open this with at least the latest version of Internet Explorer (which I have installed!).

                                    Not even a little bit. There are thousands of bugs (*bugs*, mind) in Windows and Office that have been there for a couple of decades. They're too busy "fixing" the stuff that works, to get on with what their customers actually need.

                                        Dude, I reported bugs in FDISK and FORMAT way back in 1988 that I still waiting for fixes on.

                                        Exactly -- but look on the bright side: they've "fixed" the desktop, the Start menu, toolbars, and menus. They've done such a good job of that that no-one cares about the uselessness of tables, numbered headings, styles, and master documents in Word, scrolling, equation editing, etc, in Excel, or any of the gazillion things wrong with the OS that haven't been fixed since Win 3 onward.

                                          Maybe they implemented their suggestion inbox as a stack, rather than a queue!

                                          Or maybe they had a hard time accessing the bug list, because someone finally fulfilled so many people's dream of ramming the bluddy thing up their @rse.
