Oh yes it is. To download a single exe from my associate through tfs takes at least 20 minutes. TFS has source control/compare. Think they could do the same to an exe? Nope.

To me, having a vcx with a ton of unrelated stuff in it shows two flaws in thinking. One is that only one person will need to edit part of the vcx at any given time, and two, that the exe will need all of this unrelated stuff built in. Kind of like wanting to buy a spark plug and having to get the entire engine too.

It these seemingly harmless thoughtless acts that make waiting for mobile apps to be upgraded such a pain.
