It's funny to me that the man is giving away extremely expensive software and yet yall are complaining about them promoting their products at the same time....
QUOTE (Hartmann @ Feb 19 2008, 03:48 PM) I agree with you and you're still arguing. I was responding more to peb than you |

QUOTE You guys are acting like Bill Gates just invented some new marketing scheme and should be shot for it. find me somewhere this doesn't happen. I see this stupid ass DirecTV commercial like every day: "You have 30 seconds to listen to what your cable provider doesn't want you to know! They say they're keeping up with HD capacity, they're not!" OOOOOH SNAP YOU GOT ME THERE! LEMME SWITCH RIGHT NOW! wacko.gif Chill man. You're reading way too much into what I just said. I wasn't trying to imply that this was some diabolical plot by Microsoft. From what I've used of MS's development tools, I think they're pretty well designed and I applaud Bill for giving them away for free. I was just attempting to reinforce what Hartmann was saying. It's going to take a lot more than just "our tools are more powerful" to win over people's hearts and minds. And this is definitely a step in the right direction. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
