Windows SDK for Server 2008 and .Net 3.5

[Norman Diamond]

Visual Studio 2008 contains compilers for x32 and wow64, but I thought I
read that the latest SDK contains native compilers for x64. So I tried to
install it.

Uh yeah, silly me, installing Vista x64 and Visual Studio 2005 and Visual
Studio 2008 on a piddly little 35GB partition, and then trying to install an
SDK along with them. I plan to uninstall Visual Studio 2005 and try again,
but meanwhile, let's see what the release notes say.

Oh, I wasn't the only silly one. Earth to Microsoft: If your HTML files
aren't encoded in Japanese, you have to put header tags in to say what
language encoding you're using. The only time you can omit a language tag
is when the contents are Japanese.

(Regarding that rule, some countries differ on minor details but those
countries don't count. Besides, those countries have the exact same logical
rule even if they differ on minor details.)

Hilarious, Norman!

Gosh, it doesn't seem that long ago I purchase my first 1 GB drive. What was I going to do with all that drive space...... ;-)

C++/CLI programming technologies

The name of that SDK contains the substring ".Net 3.5".

If I post it on the Connect site it will be a "Won't Fix" or maybe just be
closed with no explanation at all. I guess that means there's no need for a
comment here either. Microsoft's products still display their level of
quality.

Most likely you're right, because Jeffery referred you to the Visual Studio
connect site and the SDK is not Visual Studio. If it were Visual Studio, we
could talk about it in this newsgroup. Catch-22.

I recall the feedback options are listed at the end of the SDK release note
or readme file, but I forgot which one. I suggest reading both anyways.
