Hi all,
Can somebody explain to me why VS 2005 has been available in the US for
a few weeks now, but seems to be nowhere available in Europe yet (based
on amazon.co.uk / amazon.de listings) ?
Is it to give the US developers a jump-start on us Olde Worlde
code-serfs out here in the sticks? Or do export restrictions apply?
Either way, it's a b*mmer for those of us waiting to get our hands on
the goodies...

I don't know about physical box copies, but MSDN subscribers are able
to download and burn images within Europe. I suspect that physical box
copies provide relatively small sales compared with MSDN subscriptions.

Duuhhh, yep! that would explain some of it i guess. But you'd think
amazon.eu would at least offer the thing, right?
Looks like I'm going to have to convince my IT superiors to shell out
for a download which is something they're not too keen on...

As we have MSDN subscription I simply downloaded it from a p2p-network. MSDN
download is just too slow =)
Did the same with a new Delphi 7. I bought it via snailmail, but as the key
was printed on the receipt, I downloaded it and didn't even bother waiting
for the CDs. They are stored as backups. Don't think I even opened the
package.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
