I don't even see them fix any bugs.
Take a slider, drop it on a form and scale it nice and narrow.
When you run it, it has the wrong size.
This bug has been reported 1.5 years ago and I have an official MS rep. reply
that consisted of a lot of code that overrides stuff in the "OnCreate".
Conclusion: Either MS is desperately overburdoned or they have utter disregard
for quality, or both, because there are many more bugs that are more serious and
none of them seem to get fixed.
It doesn't look good, in any case.
I was very excited after I bought C# .net and started to make a simple form but
I never got the "Open file" dialog box working. It tuned out that there is a
huge bug in it that renders it unusable. Reported 2 years ago, never fixed. MS
latest .net runtime has exactly ZERO bugfixes.
And they are going to replace the OS?
ROTFLMAO
