Whether deserved or not, I can't believe there's going to be anything other than a tremendous backlash.

I'm not convinced that Microsoft fully understands the extent to which a lot of people dislike Windows 8 as it currently stands.

If it had told me it was going to piss my life away when I ran elected to install the minor update, I would never have agreed to it.

Peter Bright

Fucking lolling here. VMware wants to reboot again, to complete its installation.

Wait, is it Eurovision this weekend?

So anyway, I reboot for VMware and it appears that it's simply uninstalled itself, without kicking off the install for the new version. WTF.

In other comedy news, ATI's CCC control panel thing is using 800 MB RAM to display an icon in the notification area.

Peter Bright

Dear VMware, if I'd known that installing the update would require a reboot, I wouldn't have fucking clicked "install".

So let me get this straight; anyone wanting to learn a standard C tutorial (which will be all console apps) will be unable to use VS11?

Peter Bright

Is this for real? No traditional desktop/console apps in VS11 Express? http://ping.fm/JcBdN

Peter Bright

That can't really be true, can it? Microsoft can't be that stupid, surely?

Peter Bright

So let me get this straight. VS11 Express only produces Metro apps, and the Windows SDK no longer includes a toolchain?
