What? Did I not make myself clear or are you incapable of reading? I am not "complaining about now", I am complaining about 10 years ago. Specifically '98-00.

What? Did I not make myself clear or are you incapable of reading? I am not "complaining about now", I am complaining about 10 years ago. Specifically '98-00. Fireup Wikipedia and do a little MS history research. I want my software to look fresh and fit in with the UI of the environment. I said was coding for the future, i.e. use the most cutting edge software today, so by the time we put the software on shelves, it doesn't look old. My #1 issue with MS, really, is that they let the official API stagnate and forced us developers to use Office and IE components, in the hope of integrating them with Windows. I would make sense of your writing if it wasn't so weirdly phrased.
