Help Us Help You

  • [アーティクル]

All too often I notice that we're slammed by the media as the “evil empire” who doesn't care tenderly for its customers. I agree that we've made our share of mistakes in the past, but we're really trying very hard to change that misconception.

Here's your chance to help us help all you devs out there with compatibility issues. We want your feedback! I know a lot of you have PDC bits and have had a chance to upgrade from V1.0 and V1.1, and I've personally met quite a few of you out there who've come to Redmond for DevLabs or ISV labs. Just today I got a lot of comments about a quick talk on some of our CLR compatibility efforts I gave at the VSIP Summit. I'd love more, you know how to contact me :) I also have a question - how would you folk like to be able to discuss compatibility issues you run into with us? Would a newsgroup dedicated to CLR Compatibility be something you'd like to see?

    This is the unfortunately the type of feedback we sometimes get when we want CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

    It would have been more appropriate to simply tell us what you didn't like about Watson and download programs. It goes without saying I'll delete any further comments that use this type of foul language.

    I think an FAQ area would be a good start. Then add a section for adding new questions, which could/should be devided into 2 sections, answered and unanswered, like http://www.experts-exchange.com/ maybe.

    Newsgroups suffer from too much noise from trolls like moo/hans/ferris/whateverhecallshimselftomorrow/the.netweblogstroll and from the same questions being repeatedly asked.

    I'd prefer a mailing list. NNTP isn't firewall friendly.

    The FAQ idea is fantastic especially as MSDN is like a dictionary, it's okay if you know what you are looking for, otherwise it is of little use - you tend to end up guessing what an appropriate function might be called.

    Sorry Ferris, I guess what I had meant to say was that I don't like the cursing. The feedback itself is good, just watch the tone in the future please.
