Microsoft is driving me NUTS.

[Bubba1235]

Ok, so I install the new version of Windows (8) so I can start testing my software for compatibility. Next up I install Visual Studios latest and greatest and UGH... First thing I get is a warning it's not "fully" supported on the new OS but will be by the time its a finished product. (Where have I heard that before?)

Next up, I'm told I have an incompatible application trying to run. Turns out its Microsoft Essencials, thier own anti-virus code. Grrrr....

Ok my way past the warnings the world will end and load up a project piece of code I've been working on and bam, 312 errors. Ok, this sisn't going to work at all, close the project for now.

Load a couple of older apps and while they sort of run the GUI is a disaster. Yeah, I really want to re-write all that again, NOT!

Of course while all this is going on I am getting a steady stream of email telling me as a partner I must get my apps ready for the new OS, or else...

Sigh, sometimes a guy just wants to cuss...

Complaining about compatability issues, on a new OS, that is not even released yet?

Sound's like the "good old days".

Have another cup of coffee.

I remember the good old days when you didn't have these issues with Windows 3.0

I installed the Customer Preview on a computer this past weekend to check it out.
I have one word - HORRENDOUS!!
I can see it for touch screens or tablets/pads, but not a real computer. It was clunky, ugly, and non-intuitive to navigate.
No thank you, I will stick with Windows 7.

it's important to ensure that your code correctly frees only valid blocks of memory dd5x------------------------------------------
