oh my!
microsoft have added a useful feature to one of their products
...again though it's something others have had for years.
who knows, one day they may just catch up to the rest of the industry in actual user-useful features instead of their usual pointless bloat and at best barely useful new items.
better warn the grandkids, at this rate [very optimistically] it may be in their generation.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Ignore Lopitar, he has a flea up his arse about Microsoft and has been bitching at them for years.

mycroft holmes is a true ms lemming, for him they can do no wrong.
for mine, I appreciate their products are good,
but they do have a problems:
1. bloating with features often that few if any needed
2. slow (sometimes non) including features and fixes people have been requesting for long times
ms are still all about bling, not so much users.

While I agree with both your points I am not interested in denigrating a suite of products I have made a living from for over 30 years and still consider best of breed (this does EXCLUDE office).

Never mind that; did they update the icons?

They did, in fact, update the app icon...or was that already there back in 17? I can't recall. Either way, they've ensured it's now uglier than ever.
In the name of "simplifying" things, y'know...'cuz you can't handle seeing too many colors at once on your screen.

Funny thing about being agoraphobic and schizoaffective. You develop a lot of insular activities.
Sorry my mental illness cramps your style, bro. Codeproject is an outlet for me.

I mean they never announced the winners.
I suspect I won, which is one of the reasons I'm eager for the results.

But it takes a long time to have a computer add up numbers to see who won.

They sort of announce. In the latest articles you see a "So and so won Best article for December with Such and Such" or something.
And they do email. They emailed me when I won in november. I just forgot when.
