[17:38] <xys...> pmo: I'm not talking RC either. I'm talking about the version made available internally to us Microsoft employees.
[17:38] <xys...> (which is I would imagine, less polished than the RC)
[17:39] <xys...> pmo: No, I'm telling you I tried SP1 three months ago.
[17:40] <xys...> (What existed of SP1, three months ago, that the PSD team made available to us).
[17:54] <xys...> Arrick: The VS IDE's (devenv) regular-expression find and replace makes that conveniently possible.
[17:54] <xys...> But writing a simple application to do it is also trivial.
[17:57] <xys...> Many editors can do regular-expressions for find and replace now. As I mentioned before, the Visual Studio IDE's editor does it nicely.
[17:59] <xys...> Arrick: We've dropped the .NET moniker recently, but sure version 7.0 (.NET/2002), 7.1 (2003), 8.0 (2005) and 9.0 (2008) all have it
[18:00] <xys...> I have very little experience with the Office applications, so I wouldn't be able to tell you.
[18:03] <xys...> I personally feel they are expensive.
[18:05] <xys...> This suddenly became very juvenile.
[18:52] <xys...> What is your friend's alias? If he works here I should be able to see him on Communicator.
[18:54] <xys...> niz-8]: Hi. @microsoft.com alias? (Feel free to whisper it if you don't want anyone else to know).
[18:59] <xys...> niz-8]: I believe what I used was named SP1, with no tag attached - whether it is functionally equivalent in any way to what is available to customers now I cannot say. The development I was doing was independent of it. I can confirm that the kernel version was the same as the 2008 server box I use now.
[19:05] <xys...> niz-8]: I have my reservations, none-the-less.
[19:08] <xys...> niz-8]: Forgive me if I don't see how my refusal to your second question isn't the same as for the first. :)
[19:09] <xys...> pmo: (If the doubt is whether I work for MS or not, then that is easily satisfied; aside from freenode's automatic cloak on my tide*.microsoft.com host, you could whois me on another network, or I could send you an e-mail from my work address. :) )
[19:11] <xys...> emet: Yes, I do not know why; (on Undernet:) xystic is ~xystic@tide543.microsoft.com * xystic
[19:14] <xys...> emet: There are many more; Pilchie in ##CSharp is one, and vulture who is often on ##C++ with us is another.
[19:17] <xys...> obnauticus: Of Redmond/Bellevue?
[19:18] <xys...> pmo: SDE (Software Development Engineer), if you're interested.
[19:18] <xys...> emet: From what I understand, our recruiting drive is fairly strong.
[19:21] <xys...> PureEvilGeek: It is no small task, but definitely not impossible. :) I opted out, at third round with Google. (The position was in Sydney, and I saw this as an opportunity to come here).
[19:23] <xys...> phxheat: You've tried MoveFileEx() with the flag that involves performing the operation upon reboot?
[19:29] <xys...> If he disagrees that three months ago we had Vista SP1 on network install, then I would love to talk to him on Communicator and inquire what makes him say that.
