  • Visual Studio Documentary

    Microsoft's Channel 9 has released a fascinating two-part video documentary of the history of Visual Studio, appropriately titled Visual Studio Documentary . It's an hour long (split into two 30-minute parts) and covers Microsoft's development efforts dating back to MS-DOS, OS/2, and the...

  • Use the tools Microsoft didn't use to create Zune HD apps

    Yes, you read that right. Microsoft (and its partners) did not use XNA Game Studio to create the free games and other apps that are now available for the Zune HD.

  • Bad user interface, part 37

    I walked up to my laptop and saw this bit of OneCare-like stupidity: Here's the thing. If you’re going to perform background tasks, do it in the background. Obviously. And God help you if you pop-up a dialog later to inform me that whatever you were doing completed successfully. Put simply, let me...
