>Function follows form. [eg] The medium is not as good as chm files where. Or at least the way it is implemented. About the so called contend. Ja. Michels rules don't let me express it.
The rules were revoked (and thus the monopoly of one religion over the language).
But yes, one of the reasons I'm not using anything Microsoft except Fox and Windows (and event that only because of Fox) is that you are effectively helpless. If you can't find a way to do it in five minutes, it will probably take you an hour - to weed the advertising, the appearances of the same keywords in unrelated m$ products, in two hundred content-free aggregator sites (which google up real nice - and the google has removed the vote-down feature, probably because it was abused, and somehow this content-free thing isn't an abuse). Here, try googling "skype release notes 6.5" - if you find the actual release notes within first ten pages, you have a beer. Or just try to include word "history" with that search. Good luck.
>Grown up with copies of copies of manuals, Turbo Pascal 4 was a wonder. I lost track after MS skipped chm files. Somewhere I have a copy of MSDN to VS 6, this was working too. From there it grows worst.
Ah but that was the times when it was the programmers' world, and to be a programmer you had to finish a college in some technical area, and some level of foreknowledge was assumed so the books didn't include too many illustrations and were generally written for a level way above morons. It has got a lot more democratic since.
