That makes me wonder... Nokia sponsored Qt until relatively recently, where you have to explicitly screw up the dialogs to look wrong.
That installer looked like that long before Nokia aquired Qt.

The recent acquisition brought us new UI trends. It's a combination of microsoft phobia of the native widgets they themselves created and vendors masking their crappy program by heavy theming make-up. Windows 8.2 will use only bitmapped fonts:
Nice try genius, too bad it already looked like this years ago.

Oh wait, you're installing the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS4 on Windows x64 and the installer informs you that it is going to install both the 32 and 64 bit versions, with no apparent way to prevent it from doing that.
Not really, there's a checkbox. You can install either one or both.

Why does Visual Studio change services? It's a fucking IDE. IDEs should not need to run things while they're not open.It only asks for a reboot when it has to update/install the .NET Framework.
Maybe it shouldn't do that and expect users to install it by themselves. I mean, it's just a fucking IDE, right?
Your friends must be really shitty .NET programmers if they didn't know something this basic after years of practice.
Where's the WTF?
It's pretty obvious that

I think you underestimate how useful his "fix" will be for me. Beyond that, this is a bug in my opinion. There's no real reason these features could not be supported even with word wrap on, with minimal effort. No mention of this limitation is made in the help file. Finally - as I mentioned early on and prominently - the underlying problem is not some penny-ante issue with Notepad. It's the misguided nature of the entire GUI idiom foisted upon us by Microsoft.
So, no, I don't think I got "pwned." I got an answer to my question, which only needed to be asked because of Microsoft's brain-dead GUI standards.
I know, it hurts. :P
Better luck next time. :)
Haha,our little flaming friends gets pwn'd after just one post.
Well played, GettinSadda.

Also, it's posted in the ".NET Performance" section of the site... I guess anyone dumb enough to juxtapose those two words together into a forum name ought to expect nothing less than inane, post-lobotomic nonsense in reply.Ah, there it is.
Judging from the amount of butthurt, I'd say a .NET programmer stole his job and wife.
