Posting in that thread is like posting to the bit bucket, so it's probably a better choice, yes.

I was going to say WPF but that is eleven years already, wowsers. So I'll say they've raised some good discussion with Edge and web standards.

The only discussion they raised with Edge is "why? why keep making browsers?"

Microsoft's hardware division is arguably the source of what we consider a mouse, game controller, ergonomic keyboard, and convertible tablet in the modern era. Same for Xbox Live and many interactive services in general. Goes without saying things like Visual Studio, Office, Active Directory, Exchange/Outlook/Lync, etc. But yeah, all a decade ago at this point.

Modern era? Pushing the modern flat design I guess from the Zune and whatnot.

that was mostly speculation from the peanut gallery

Lowtax posted:

I banned ZDR while asleep? Wow, I'm good.

By the way, for all you idiots who believed I somehow banned an admin while I was sleeping, what happened was the power at our hosting provider went down yesterday, and after they restored it, the hypervisor controlling all cloud accounts got overloaded and started loving up and causing weird errors to occur everywhere, so you can drop your retarded-rear end conspiracy theories at any time.
