Re: Thanks to Borland for all the hard work on update 2

Compare VS with BDS and you get a better comparison. It was delivered

and ROFL at how many there were. The good thing about the folks in Redmond
is that they are smart and will release bug fixes individually if needed, instead
of making you have to wait 4-6 months for a service pack for these single bugs.

Have they? There is a bug in VS2005 that bugs (pun intented) the craps out me. Namely, when a solution is open and you open a new one, the tabs will flicker like crazy for several seconds while the IDE updates itself. Where is the fix for this one? I can't find it on either MSDN or by using Microsoft Update (which BTW is where the VS2005 installer directs you when you click the Check For Updates item).

I suppose you can get these issues fixed at lightning speed if you have a support and maintenace contract in place (you get a couple of free incidents with your MSDN subscription), but FWIW so can Borland.
