A few people have mentioned the Tiobe index again (I liked Bill Coupe’s post) and VFP sitting at 13.Never mind VFP, I’m still amazed to see how well Visual Basic is doing (still going from strength to strength even though it is no longer officially supported). I was reminded of Google Trends the other day (thanks to Mitch Wheat’s post). So here’s a few...

One of the things I love about Craig Berntson is how he speaks his mind. Like this post about Ray Ozzie taking over from Bill in time. Classic.And I’m with Craig on the WinFX renaming – what’s the problem?
Just when I was starting to get a little worried (as per my comment on being underwhelmed with Sedna so far) Craig Boyd comes along and gets me all excited again. World domination? Just possibly…
