You really don't have a clue ...

I walked away from IBM over 10 years ago to take on MS development ... I am now ecstatic to be back ... the stability is wonderful ...

Your concept of being on the "bleeding edge" is fighting with crappy MS software ...

I'm glad you are no longer in software ... though I shudder at the thought of "clients" going to you for a "legal opinion" ... (you talk a good game, but "understand" very little).
