I dislike VS2015/17 because they induce seizures with all the crap that flashes on/off the screen as you code. I can't f*ckin stand that crap.

I once sat through a remote coding session with a coworker of mine, who's using a Mac and leaves some Twitter feed thing running all day.
VS is downright whisper quiet, compared to that thing that was constantly trying to get your attention both with visual cues and sounds. I cannot understand how he could work.

I disable CodeLens and refuse to install Resharper. As a result, my VS2017 runs my 80-project solution like a rocket. (I also use an SSD).

With Microsoft, it has always been a race between features and introduced bugs. VS 2013 seems to be the last relatively stabile version.

I used to have a Mini but my legs looked awful in it so I traded it in for a Jaguar but I had to get rid of it after it ate the cat. After that, I tried a Beetle but George said he hated living in my garage so I bought a Citroen instead - that just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I then got myself a Chevrolet but it used to get through tons of hay and poo all over the place. Maybe I'll have more luck with an Escort ...

Can I help? We administrate a few 2012ers.

I just installed it to run some HCK testing on a driver fir win7, and there is no freaking start button!
Hovering over the right hand side barely works, it is in a VM and the mouse pointer is not accurate for some reason.
|

|
|
Yeah, I read about that, if I get really pissed off I'll do it.
|
|
|
|

Oh don't get pissed off Matt. With every 2012 server we have deployed we load Classic Shell on it. It's free and just like 2008 or win 7 to use. Start, there's computer Management, Control Panel, My Computer, all your familiar friends!

|

Yea, I dont intend using it any more than I have to, just to run WHCK tests on a driver, then I can it over to the client to bang their heads against. 
|

are you using RDP? or some other software to connect to the VM? Might be that other software that is the issue.

Remember that 2012 is the server equivalent of Windows 8. 2012 R2 is a lot more tolerable, if only because the start button is where it should be.

After reading Griff's comment about using red wine in chili paired with the blistering cold weather currently blanketing the surrounding area, I decided this would be a good night to make some chili and figured why not share opinions, thoughts, and then get into a proper fist fight about the use of tomatoes and onions (filthy heathens). Beans are acceptable only if they are pinto and added shortly before serving, never during the actual cooking. Plus tequila.
My recipe was originally based on this great one, Tom Westbrook - North Texas Red Chili[^]. After reducing the amount by 2/3 or so, I swap out the Lone Star for Shiner Bock or some Duchesse de Bourgogne. Then add a square or two of the darkest chocolate I can lay my hands on, add a single dried Carolina Reaper, and a handful of dried tepins, along with whatever other fiery pods I've got lying around. For those who have no idea what 'Japanese peppers' are, I've always assumed that he means Shishitos. Oh, and don't forget the tequila! The tequila is very important to the process.
Then the next day while things are reheating, I cook up a skillet of savory corn bread, shred some super sharp cheddar cheese and I'm good to go for a week of amazing eats.
