Stephen - I thought I was the only neo-luddite that did things like that ... But round-tripping of projects - and other "tech" things - surely must be given more promotion than the UX / UI nonsense in that blog post, which is going to suck the oxygen from the real advancements in a new version. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com]<mailto:[mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com]> On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 3:51 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: New look of Visual Studio, what are your thoughts? I'd be happy if you could open a SMALL text file from explorer without having to wait a few minutes. Why do you think that everyone has a notepad replacement installed? If Visual Studio loaded fast we wouldn't need them, VS would be the best notepad replacement. Impress me. I dare you. Make VS fast enough that I uninstall my notepad replacement.
