notYET whine OTD

Dear Microsoft,

If you're not going to provide Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express for download, then the version of Visual Studio C++ 2008 that you're providing is not "beta", it is your release. That is all.

Oh, and if you're going to pitch that the .NET runtime supports interoperability between C# and C++, how about supporting C++, and not the bastardized pidgin abomination that passes for the subset of C++ that you can use in notYET[Wiki] C++ objects.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
