Ordinarily I would brush off complaints about prerelease alpha software quality. But the same problems are affecting mature flagship products.
Last month a Microsoft Visual Studio update intercoursed all our Azure development machines. We never got any reply from Microsoft, and had to reimage all the machines. I see from https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1029189/after-update-4-has-been-installed-such-packages-are-failed-to-load https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/... this has nearly a dozen repos, and still no official reply or workaround.
- teh_klev 12y agoForget Connect. It's a barren dustbowl full of tumbleweed. If it's urgent shell out for a PSS support issue. Can't remember what we pay per "urgent/high priority" incident but it's small potatoes compared to waiting around for a response on Connect. I've emailed Scott Guthrie a couple of times in the past about the sorry state of Connect. Maybe they'll just shoot it in the head and stop pretending it's useful to anyone.
