    VC7.1 IDE Bug Report

    Hello,

    I have discovered a bug in Visual C++.NET 2003 IDE, that
    causes the IDE to freeze upon opening a concrete simple header file.
    Please, is there any meaningful way to reach the people at Microsoft
    that might be interested in this?

    I posted a message to this newsgroup describing the bug several
    days ago, but no one seemed interested.

    Regards,
    Boris Burger

      So reading between the lines, service packs are now a thing of the past.

      So then, what is the purpose of that "Check for updates" item on the Help
      menu? Even a simple honest answer would be better than nothing, and much
      better than a lie. If the answer is "We have no intention of providing bug
      fixes", why not just tell us? Some reason you can't do that? Something
      you're not allowed to talk about? Orders from Bill? Worried that we'd all
      immediately jump ship to Borland C++ Builder or go install Red Hat or
      something? Or maybe you could tell us, but then you'd have to kill us? That
      one I can see, cuz we wouldn't be upgrading no mo' after that! :-)

          Hi Harry,
          Fortunately, that conclusion is wrong. We are still working on service
          packs for several versions of Visual Studio. Do know that many people have
          taken notice of the amount of elapsed time between release and service
          packs. There are people interested in fixing that.

          Right now, it is fair to say that our process for creating a service pack is
          a bit circuitous. The fixes that are put into a service pack are almost
          entirely the QFEs that Carl referred to earlier. At a certain point, the
          QFEs are rolled up into a service pack.

          Cheerio!

              Well, I'm glad to hear that, and if nothing else, I want Microsoft to know
              that it is my number one complaint with Visual Studio. Others may have
              different problems, for sure, but I don't mind trying to badger you guys
              into improving the service pack issue :-)
