Microsoft and Devs: marriage counseling needed
Since I started posting on this blog again I have been thinking a lot about Windows 7 and how MS could make it developer friendly. A lot of these ideas have come from discussions with colleagues (I work for a Microsoft consulting firm) and also from articles I’ve read that I agree with.
There are two or three main problems with how Microsoft treats its development community that I take issue with. I’ll decide whether its two or three as this post continues but the point is: Good developer’s want access to the best tools (ide & api), good developer’s make good applications (elegant inside and out), and good applications make a good platform.
