The Ever Inconsistent Microsoft...
One of the things that annoys me about Microsoft (and this is true, to some extent, of any large company) is that there are too many times where it seems that one hand is not talking to the other. Sometimes, it seems like one hand doesn't even know that there's another hand.
Some of the most recent examples of this silliness are as follows:
My current annoyance is that there is no edition of Windows Live Writer that will work on x64 editions of Windows. Sometimes, I wonder if Microsoft is really committed to getting people to use x64. The hardware is in abudance, and even driver support is pretty good, but is it too much to ask for Microsoft's own application teams to get on the ball?
So, here I am with several installations of Vista x64, and I can't run Windows Live Writer at all on these systems, not even in the compatibility mode that works for a wide variety of other 32-bit Windows apps.
Rather annoying, to say the least, as I've grown very used to WLW...
