Pre-release or not, all versions of VS, if I have to have more than one, go into their respective VMs on my system.
I realize MS says it should all work side-by-side nowadays...but then you get reports like this.

Yep, and that's why I now only run one version of VS in production.

Still, reasonable to expect that different versions would have their own configs. This is just laziness on part of the devs.
Cheers,

Indeed it is. The best way we found to ensure a proper 'root' to our application's registry tree was to force everyone to use the same wrapper class for registry access. The class requires everyone to use relative subkeys.

Uhm 'Preview Tab' ?
Surely he turned it off by mistake!
Uhm, 'CodeLens' ?
Turning it off was a big mistake!

Or is that not how you spell it?
Back in January, I posted this: Oh dear, looks like another small energy supplier is going bust?[^]
I just had an email from them: they have.
OK, it's not just the cash flow, there are loads of extra reasons recently:
Green wrote: The current market conditions are unprecedented, with record wholesale energy prices pushing the cost of energy above the price cap. The fire at the National Grid interconnector site in Sellindge on 15th September led to wholesale electricity and gas prices reaching new record highs. Beyond the fire, 2021 has seen incidents at other production sites, unplanned outages, high demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tankers, Brexit, the Suez Canal incident, and the Beast from the East II to name but a few.
But ... I think they would have gone soon anyway ... That's a PITA, it's switch time anyway, but gawd knows who I will be allocated to ...

I want to, but after last years dramatically emotional event with Panos Panay almost in tears as he talked about their amazing grey laptops and Microsoft branded Android devices, I'm just not sure I can take it.
Having said that, it does at least contrast with the scary fixed smiles of the Apple event last week.

Microsoft event: Nope - I don't personally own a Windows PC... and my employer provides Dell laptops (FBOW).
Apple event: Is it just me or do the pre-recorded Apple events have even more fluff and less substance than the live Apple events? I wouldn't have thought it was possible but there ya go.

No, but I've heard a lot of positive reviews about this.

- Wow the camera bump on the Duo. I was thinking "that thing isn't going to fit in a pocket". I was proven wrong as that guy slipped it into his bucket sized pocket. It's nothing wrong with the phone: you're just using the wrong pocket.
- They are still using their proprietary charger on the surface devices. Even Apple are slowly and surely moving to USB-C. I'm simply never going to buy another portable device that requires anything other than a common charger (which today means I'm all-in on USB-C)
- Please stop the camera shot where the person isn't looking at the camera. Am I suddenly that boring you don't want to look at me anymore, or is it simply this person just has been in lockdown so long they find it hard to meet someone's gaze.
- Surface Laptop Studio is a chunky Monkey. I think Panos is going to start crying about it.
Extra:
- Microsoft have gone full DELL. When you hit their Surface site they present a popup asking if it's for home or business. That seems grossly tone deaf given where everyone's been working these past 19 months. And: I don't even understand the effect that choice will have on me. Do I get shown the crappy devices if I choose home?
My feeling is Microsoft is working to throw in every feature they can. It looks and feels like something designed by engineers. Apple is busy removing buttons, removing externalities. Microsoft is working to make laptops more...fussy?
Microsoft seem like a company running as fast as they can. And they are running fast, very fast. They don't seem to be stopping and asking where they are running towards. It feels frantic.
cheers

Microsoft is for those that still like to read a service manual once in a while and change their own oil. Apple is for those that just tap the fuel gauge to see if it's working.

Apple is for those who say "fuel? What fuel?"

Windows Home vs Pro? Is that a thing, for Surface devices?
