If they mind their business properly you will not be able to use personal computer at all and write stupidity like this. I don't see any relation to MFC, COM and another technologies in your message. If you need to discuss about Ladin, switch to another forum, please... PaperSun

I got a nice email and like it too much - so try to learn as much as possible till July 31 :-) Dear Visual Studio Beta 2 Customer: Our product development team in Redmond has, unfortunately, discovered a bug in the Beta CDs you have recently received. It is an unintended timebomb that will prevent VS from running after 31 July 2001. Our plan is to replace your beta by automatically shipping you a new release of Visual Studio .Net Professional Beta 2, which does not have the bug, and to do this as soon as possible. X|

> MFC experience is easy - they teach it in many colleges these days. But it doesn't mean that you have MFC experience !!!:confused:

You are right - especially when you develop apps for enterprise (for example bank houses) they don't want to have skins, flashing colors, etc. They are very happy if you can implement the similar UI as the apps they usually use (f.e. Office).:eek:
