Re: Who needs Tony Snow...
Microsoft's response to the article (p.7) suggests they think people should
just be "wowed" by the new features in the development tools and not be too
worried about their stability. Hmmm! I guess that's how they ended up with
an unstable product in the first place. :-)
I think a lot of people here would be more concerned about the
maintainability of their products using VS 2005, and the stability of the
result they hope to market.

The headline doesn't even *hint* at the absurdity of this piece.
