Am I a bad programer if I dont use the MVC Framework? Only been at this for a couple years and I've done some pretty cool (and stable) stuff with "Page/Postback" and AJAX. Should I be thinking in terms of abandoning this and applying the MVC Framework to all my new projects? I understand the MVC Framework enables unit testing butI don't do any of that now. Does that make me a bad programer? I Didn't go to school for this stuff and there are methodologies everywhere. Does the fact that Scottgu and his team developed this framework mean I should move to it. Or is this just another "thing"? Those of you who have been around a while, share some wisdom with me.

I've always been pretty clear about my thoughts on Vista and they are not anti-Microsoft in any way

I'm sure your right. My comments were probably ill placed. I just never see anybody speaking positive about the things they are doing.

The problem with all this hype about Vista is that it is driven by hatred. There are so few objective opinions about Vista and Microsoft it's rediculous. This initiative is not about Vista. Its that simple. Yet the original poster and the writer of the article would have you believe its the Microsoft Devil at work. I saw the same thing on CNN the other day. The headline says "First Vista Security Flaw Exposed". The article was all about how if a hacker was actually sitting at your computer they could expose a flaw in the operating system. A rediculous story with a misleading headline. The fact is that Microsoft is the only company in the world that has successfully built software on this scale. Talk to the accounting, finance, and business analysts of the past 15 years. They will tell you how much better they have been able to collaborate, analyze, organize there business information for a relatively cheap price on the windows operating system. Remember when the productivity of the US worker pratically doubled in the 90's. Backend databases had a lot to do with that but the information was delivered to the business users hands to analyze in an Office/Windows environment. Microsoft will never be open source, free of bugs, free of charge, or far from contreversy. Atleast respect thier acomplishments enough to be filter your comments for objectivity and context. Keep one thing in mind when wishing/predicting the demise of Microsoft and its products. "Geeks","Artists" and their bosses are the only ones calling for an alternate OS. The people that drive earnings and make strategic decisions want something easy to use and designed with them in mind. That has been XP and will be Vista.
