These enterprise IT changes will exert long-lasting influence over the way businesses approach IT operations. I'm sure that one day we'll look back on this list as prophetic (or pathetic)

One of the basic design patterns in .NET is the static Parse function. Virtually every class that can be instantiated from a string representation has one. Yet before C# 11 and .NET 7, there was no way to create an interface that accommodated this. It's just like regular parsing, but with a plain yellow label
Not sure if that Canadianism translates outside the country.

First thing I did was create a Visual Studio project just to make editing easier. I had to keep the make build, since the build had detailed options because "Microsoft got this wrong" .

With WinAppSDK 1.2 you can now create widgets for the Windows 11 widget board, use the most modern WinUI controls – including media playback & InfoBadge, and support HDR graphics through the DisplayInformation APIs among other additional features. Not to be confused with the .NET Framework SDK, the WinUI SDK, the Community SDK or any of the other Windows SDKs I'm forgetting now
Another SDK that I'd really like to know if it's being used by anyone here

Microsoft has urged developers still using the long-term support (LTS) release of .NET Core 3.1 to migrate to the latest .NET Core versions until it reaches the end of support (EOS) next month. We're still good with .NET 1.1 though, right?
Or 2.0 if you like LINQ?

Except LINQ wasn't introduced until 3.5.

It's still the preferred .net for NT4 applications.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft is the master of ugly sweaters. The company again proves it through the new design for its Windows ugly sweater, featuring its iconic Clippy paper-clip character. It looks like you're trying to appear silly. Would you like help with that?
