thats to the big companies that pay ms millions of dollars a year anyway, so like it really matters. Still the only truly stable products are those built by ms, why? cause they know how the OS works, regular developers only have hte MSDN to go by, which while its good, some parts are totally lacking. By having access to the source code they can better understand the OS and write better and more stable applications. _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

might be that im paranoid but i think this is a Trap.. They will get me.... They are after me.... </paranoia> MS was always a monopol and now it gives their product (or at least parts) away for free? Maybe they are just looking for some geeks bugfixing securityholes for free ? _______________ ph34r d4 cu73 On3z |
