Incoherent rants are fine but they do rather make it difficult for anyone to respond!

I tend to use VS2008, however I ran into a problem the exes don't run on Win2000 so I am using VS2005. Why do I have to support stuff that is found in the back of a storage in deepest darkest China! (also Mexico)

908 - I could ask a programming question 
My point, other than to rant, why change a functional development model when all your doing is confusing the existing customer base? For what elephanting purpose are you doing this?
end_rant <-- forgot that.
Eventually I figures this out, but if there is NO functional difference to your changes, WTF are you doing changing it?

And I thought you were an experienced developer in the MS space. there are a few more you are going to have to learn!
Why change the functionality for no reason other than the break compatibility with a prior version?
Why inflict the bloody ribbon on the world?
Why deprecate a perfectly viable technology?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how come you're (still) using VS2008?

Not a stupid question
Simple answer: embedded development environment.

You're gonna love VS2015! (at least when you start using it in 2023) 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Yeah, especially the free telemetry data inserted into your code

That's what we paid the upgrade fee for..

Solutions are a good idea - they are "meta projects" where a number of projects are gathered together into a single solution. Basically, a Project generates an assembly, a Solution generates a collection of Assemblies that make up a whole application.
So you can have a Project for each of your DL, BL, and PL for example, and a Solution for your whole application.
Then when you retarget the DL from SQL server to a Cloud based DB, and redesign the PL for a Windows Surface say, you can create a new Solution, with a brand new PL, a new DL, and including the original BL project. Any changes to you make to the BL are reflected in both applications when they are next built.

DL - database layer, BL - business logic, PL - hmmm.
Okay, that sort of makes sense. Coming from embedded other tools - we have projects and subprojects, or dependencies, etc. Never considered that sort of arrangement.

PL - Presentation Layer. The bit that is specific to the user interface for a particular application / environment. You might have the same DL and BL with different PL for WinForms and website for example.

I like VS 2010 more. After that VS became crappy...

I actually like the Solution with projects model. It has a lot more flexibility over the older concept.
Were I still working on CE, I'd campaign to update to Windows Embedded Compact 2013.

You forgot the clueless!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As software moves toward a subscription model similar to Monsanto's model of selling GMO seeds, expect more screen space for ads and intentionally bad UI, as customers spend more money when confused and agitated.

What on earth has this to do with anything in this post?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Oh, that reminds me:
Has anyone been watching "Braindead"? A couple of people have told me it's OK. Is it worth watching?

The Guardian review was a bit on the fence so I didn't indulge thinking I could do a binge watch later on if the messages were more positive. So I'll be just as interested in what anyone has to say m'sen.
