Are you doing this voluntarily, or is this something an employer
is requiring?

Yeah, but then M$ wouldn't be one step closer to owning the
world... if it doesn't lock you in to Windows, they really don't
like it.

I've really never liked the inflexibility of M$ tools. Part of
that is that they're trying to oversimplify the OS for the
lowest common denominator -- which is fine, to a point, but
when it's *the only way you can do something* (like add a
sound card or other peripheral) it becomes painful.

I don't think it's a lack of classes, I really think it's
their tools that are the problem.

Take care,

Zonker
