I'm am a major Microsoft fan. I hardly ever jump on the "bash Microsoft" bandwagon. But I've finally reached my limit with the complexity of the latest MS development environments. It really didn't get bad until 2008. You have team edition, team suite edition, database edition, professional edition, express edition, office developer edition, web edition, tester edition and who knows what else. Each edition comes with countless sub components from Crystal Reports to SQL compact edition, to any number of the 20 other items listed in my "add remove programs" section. It's like the 5 different versions of vista problem. Each time some jerk at Microsoft opens his mouth, they create another edition of some product. Ehh Ok, I'm done for now.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
