>>Sorry, I don't believe that Windows and DevDiv aren't in constant, in-depth communication with each other. I can't fathom that.
If Craig swims in a similar vast corporate sea, perhaps he has experienced exactly this sort of thing. ;-)
Just to add interest, how about this?

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
