Ah, so you have an anti-MS bias. That's OK as long as people realize it
when reading your posts saying that just because something is built on x
technology it must be inferior/slow/poorly designed/what-have-you.

It's kinda like saying "that plane can't possibly be any good because it has
a Lycoming engine." Or "it uses a G1000". Or, perhaps most accurately,
"it's made by Cessna/Piper/Cirrus/Lancair."

Incidentally, I began my career as a computer architect and
programmer when it was still necessary to build a room if you wanted a
computer and I
had an ARPAnet ID long before anyone realized what it would become. So I
do
have a bit of perspective about these things.


Then you should understand the value of consumer feedback. If you haven't
already, send the developers a note stating your observations on performance
and usability.

Unless, of course, you want them to fail - which is OK, too, really.
