#180955 - Contrieved differences Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Microsoft has a long tradition of contrieve truly random limitations just to force people to larger - or multiple - licenses.
Obviously, they should know that a large percentage of home users have more than one computer - parents, children, ... - and that the only way to backup files so they survive a harddisk failure is to backup to another disk. For most people, that is the same as backing up to another computer, unless they use external USB disks. This is similar to their Developer Studio stupidity where you have to rob a bank to be able to afford a license with the code profiler. So I have been developing quite a number of applications with the free MinGW toolchain (and ignored updating the Developer Studio license) just because of the profiler. |
