Aww Shucks, Microsoft

I've heard that the designer doesn't run out of memory quite as often in '17 as in previous versions. Do you know if this is true?

This Morning when I fired up Visual Studio 2017 RC, I was greeted with a pop-up window from Microsoft. MS requested me to take part in a survey regarding my experience with VS2017. I did the survey. The questions mainly centered around my opinion on whether the product was ready for final release. I was quite impressed, but then at the end they asked whether they may contact me in case they needed further details. Aww shucks Microsoft! :-\ I didn't think you would care about little ole me and my opinion of VS! I must say that my impressions of VS 2017 so far are positive. I do hope the final release will be available as a free community edition, like 2015.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
So you missed reading the reports where ms says it's unhappy because so many developers are bypassing their personal-information-gathering spyware saintly telemetry functions? Not much point in stopping them spying on you helping you with their saintly telemetry functions if you're just going to allow them direct access to you.

I have used it extensively over the past few weeks and it never ran out of memory - not once! With VS2012 it happened almost every day.

Heck, we have some huge forms at work and VS '15 runs out of memory just about every 30 mins!

It is far from ready for final release, and they plan for that on 7 March. I was having a beautiful time writing a WPF app with a .NET Core web API as data source, but then I had to "quickly" do an MVC web app with a web api data source. 2017 is nowhere ready enough for debugging web apps. I have to start the app with
dotnet run, then start the remote debugger (added an External Tool to do that), even if the site isn't remote, then attach to thedotnetprocess. I used to just press F5.Follow my adventures with .NET Core at my new blog, Erisia Information Services.

Got any links for this? I'd like to read more. I know there was some brouhaha over them doing this for C++ code (which they supposedly removed in Update 3), but I hadn't heard any more after that.
I'm pretty sure it was in an article in the Insider News (since that's just about the only place where I read tech news). It was going on about how developers and the tech elite were putting themselves more at risk because they knew how to get around winio's forced updates.
