I like that dark theme. But what I really want to know is...will they bring back middle click? (Minor, but annoying when you're used to using it in...every other application ever...currently the only way to get middle click functionality is via add-ons)

Highlights to look forward to :) (or not depending on your personality ;P ) VS 11 introducing the new developer experience[^] [Edit] Editted to point directly to the post rather than the blog
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
All in all, I think it is great especially since the Native C++ environment has been updated to mimic the .NET intellisense and color coding schemes. It is still a memory hog and now even more extraneous processes are running in the background which probably contributes to its extremely annoying load time. I learned C with Borland's Turbo C compiler and just about every piece of sample code I wanted to play with had to be ported from MS to Borland. I shouldn't complain because having to do so most likely aided the learning process. One thing I miss: Dynamic Help. In version 7.0 with the platform SDK installed the help was fantastic; I didn't have to remember rarely used API functions. I could type a few characters or hover a word and a list of help topics would "magically" appear. This was another great learning tool for me and I am still learning.
