It's inhuman what Microsoft puts us through
Glad to hear they're keeping their standards up.
A (ex 4D developer) friend of mine years ago lobbied me to come across
to the 'real world' and that Microsoft was so far ahead in technology
because it was so big and had so many people working for it.
For a year I immersed myself in V-Studio (with VB 6). I really hated
it, but over time a strange satisfaction emerged after completing a
project and getting through all the bugs and becoming an 'expert' in
what bug affected what version etc. Wrapping SQL queries in about 3
layers of objects and string manipulation code just to get a simple
query done also became somewhat satisfying.
However it began to dawn on me that I was being affected by 'battered
wife' syndrome - the more I suffered, the more I became attached to
the environment as I was investing emotional (instead of just
intellectual) energy into it.
Fortunately I managed to prise myself free and I shall never venture
in that direction again.
Congratulations on having got the 64-bit version (nearly) done !
Peter
