Why is it that Microsoft seems to lag so far behind? Don't they have lots of funds and competent programmers to take the lead? Or is it simply not a priority?

- stuffandthings 14y agoOn the MSVC blog, there's a post announcing C++11 support in VS2012. The comments, of course, are filled with angry devs posting about what a joke the initial VS2012 support is. Buried in those comments is one from a MS dev who claims that he is the only guy working on the standard library implementation. Kinda sad, really.

- cjensen 14y agoMicrosoft always does well when it is killing some competition. Ever since Borland and Watcom died, Microsoft has been stagnant in development. They really need to fix that. It's not enough to just chant "Developers!" while running around a stage. You actually have to help them.
