Are you telling us as an MVP, that you suggest not to use a whole product of
microsoft just because
you are familiar with the MS's inconvenient way of improving unlovely
products?

Isn't it pain in the ass situation to suffer a monololists stategies?
downward compatibility should be
a development goal not an unloved duty.

..NET rocks and MS did a good job but they should continue their work and
improve update stragegies.
