Here is the story from Linux.org: http://www.linux.org/news/2004/10/05/0009.html
I just want to know what everyone thinks on the issue. What will all of us
VB developers do, there isn't much of an equivalent language in Linux?
Any comments?

Christopher,
You may want to check out Mono.
Mono has released a Mono 1.0 that allows you to run .NET applications
(including VB.NET applications) on Linux, Windows, and MAC OS! http://www.mono-project.com/about/index.html
Hope this helps

You might find the fact that UNIX was created at Bell Labs relevant. And
Linux is conceptually based upon UNIX. So, you could say that ATT is really
just returning to its roots.

Are those pages the equivalent to MSDN, than the VBNet developers should all
feel very happy.
For the rest, I thought forever that AT&T was using Unix or a derived
systems from that, maybe foolish to think from me because they want to stay
on the market as well.

That's true. But when a large company which uses one software product for so
long decides to switch to another, that turns heads. I think that this will
truly drive the Linux movement to the point where desktop users may start to
seriously consider Linux. Right now the end-user feels that Microsoft
Windows is the only choice since (1) it runs all of their software and (2)
the conception of Linux is that it is for geeks and therefore hard to use.
Just a thought.

As always, very very weak "arguments" . The existence of a huge number of

At the end of the day, linux is great - but the only real programming
language that's viable for it is C++ (yes, OK - there's mono, but the main
thing about .NET is building RAD applications, and that means intellisense,
wizards, etc. - it's the MS IDE that does it for windows development) - which
I'm sure we'd all have a much more fun time doing, but at the end of the day
people there are always going to be beencounters that want to see results in
Excel. They can on windows, so they'll not accept a system in which they
can't.
Corporate mass server systems and backends might benefit though, but most of
them probably don't scare Microsoft much, because they probably already do
use either unix or linux.
Security is not the only arguement here.
You also have costs (HUGE factor) and reliability. You can't argue much
there.

....open Windows's Calc?
I want to integrate a shortcut to Windows Calc in my application.
Ok, it seems quite str8 forward:
1. put a button / link label, whatever on a form
2. grab Calc's icon from system32\calc.exe and attach it to the
button, etc, if needed.
3. Call Process.Start("calc.exe") when the button is clicked.
Anyway, I wonder how a guy at MS would:

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.

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,...
