In my defence I have to say, the only Dutch rock band I know is Golden Earring.
But I'm old enough to remember "Caught in the act" from the time I was a teenager...not that I listened to that kind of music

I'd say Heidevolk, although I admit I'm not 100% sure about their country

"Doe Maar" "Bloem"

I thought of Doe Maar, but I don't consider them a "rock" band really... (I mean, I like Doe Maar, it's just that it isn't rock music)

As a Dutchy I know of course:
- Golden Earring (Long blond animal, radar Love, When the lady smiles)

Mr John Simmons, FYI
[Updated the point was about poking me, but your ignorance on Microsoft]
The question:
The Lounge - CodeProject[^]
The answer:
Xamarin for Everyone | Xamarin Blog[^]
Microsoft is NOT always the expensive beast. They ARE expensive to corporates. But they've been trying hard to get into direct consumer segment. Particularly Smartphones/gadgets. They'd continue to shower offers!
So think twice before you make a bold scathy statement, gentle man. Else you will end up sounding like a Developer Donald Trump.

Microsoft has been gouging independent developers for decades. This new benevolence is entirely out of character and something we're not used to seeing.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Everything you do in VS2015 is pushing you in the direction of the cloud, or more specifically Azure.

Not entirely.
It's called competition!
Remember, IE was NOT free initially. Then Mozilla came, then IE was free.
VS 5, 2002, 2003 (which I bought at an affordable price for a student or poor young worker) were not free, then SharpDvelop was becoming an increasingly attractive open source and free alternative. Then they started community.
Same thing now!
iOS is eating their market (perhaps Linux too?) and they have free dev tool?
It's clear to me. I love Microsoft. And I have its competitor to thanks for that!

It's the new CEO. He used to be a software engineer. Still thinks like one. Awesome for the community!

What scathy statement? Where did he call you "funny guy"? links please to his exact comments.

Here[^]
Calling me a "Funny guy" is fine, but at least I wished he replies me after I gave my explanation.

John will most likely not abide by your wishes. Let it go and move on. Calling him out on it will not help either and I have seen this in the past to prove futile.

Spot on. Sane words! I kind a realized that. I think I just need to spend more time in forums to get back my thick skin.

Brother Vunic,
If you are worried about what anyone has "called you" here (the Lounge), or anywhere else on CodeProject, you may be suffering from SNOBARFOP (Social NetWork Obnoxious Behavior Attitude Reactivity Feelings of Persecution) Syndrome.
Be assured this is not you that is having these feelings, but rather it is the outcome of a type of social-emotional virus that rides on the coat-tails of high-frequency internet use to infiltrate the vulnerable minds of programmers high on their own abstractions.
And, be assured the apparent sources of this inner disturbance ... the behaviors you perceive as directed at you ... are simply the outcome of the same syndrome exhibited by the carriers of this virus. Yes, like many virii, SNOBARFOP selects certain infectees which it engineers into being carriers, but who, themselves, do not experience the downside (the negative feelings) that the average infectee experiences.
Just as the Toxoplasma gondii parasite can engineer the behavior of mice so they are less afraid of cats [^] in order to get itself into the cat where it can reproduce, SNOBARFOP can transform middle-class Texas kids who are computer nerds (who grew up going to the mall, not the firing range) into pistol-packin' on-line hell-raisers, quick on the draw with what may seem like insult.
Is there a cure ? Well, that's a big question, and, after I finish an hour or two of crying because nobody has read the recent QA answer I thought was one of my best ... I'll think about it again.
cheers, Bill
