| Could anyone from Microsft site fix their site?
When I try to get somewhere in MSDN, specially in the download area and .NET
Framework area, the system is so slow that it gets throught, I don't know how
many html pages back a forth ,that I can go and have lunch and come back and
it's still deciding which page it's suppossed to open next, then finally when
my stomach is full it shows the page is supposed to show!!!
This is hell!!, you know?
T H A A A N K Y O U ! ! !
I don't have any time to waste... Do you?

Hey, welcome to the wonderful world of .NET
And it won't get any better.

The problem may very well be with your end, pages on the MSDN here are loading in between 3 and 5 seconds all the way
from the UK! (Using Firefox 1.5 and the "Fasterfox" extension, but getting similar results in IE6.)

This problem is not due to dot net. More than likely as Mike said it is a
problem on the user's machine.

Yep... and all of my dotNet problems are "machine config" problems too. I
wonder where this magical PC is that has everything set up so perfectly that
even dotNet will run? It's ridiculous to think that everyone's going to keep
their PCs "spotless". If dotNet is so darned fragile that it can't live with
the way the user has their PC setup before, during and after installation,
it's dotNets fault. I've installed hundreds, if not thousands of apps and
have >>never<< had the problems I do with dotNet.

I don't think you quite get what's going on here. The user is VIEWING A WEB
PAGE!!! How exactly is dot net at fault here? Everyone here is so quick to
jump on dot net. Mention something it does better though and you're asked to
leave..... :-)
As for the problems with dot net I have never had a problem. It's definately
not fragile, I suspect you are doing something wrong.

Wow, hold it one tick...
ASP.NET is a server side technology. So when it arrives at the users
PC, it is just a web page, practically no different to any other. How
is that the fault of .NET on the users PC?
His PC does not have to spotles, it just needs a web browser less then
10 years old. I would assume this he has. He doesn't even need .NET
installed.
Whether or not you like .NET or not, blaming this problem on .NET on the
users machine is a /little/ far out don't you think?
On a /WAY/ out thought, maybe the .NET area is really busy with all the
users on it, maybe their site has some problems, who knows. I would
hate to speculate though that *just perhaps* .NET is perhaps *not* the
cause of slowness, errors and possibly cancer...

Tumors is more like it. Actually, you found yourself on the wrong end of a
reply to a bonified troll. Still... any clue to where this "magical PC" is
located? If you check the dotNet groups, you'll see they haven't been able
to locate it.

You make me laugh kenny. You call me a troll yet you sprout all sorts of
crap about dot net that simply isn't true. Everything I have posted about
the vb6/dot net issue has been true.

The people at the nospam.com website probably love you using their
email address, heh?
But then again, maybe they're a spamming website.
In December of 2005, Microsoft's homepage went down, specifically
located at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/
They've had a couple years now to fix IIS 6. IIS 5 ran alot better than
their IIS 6 runs. It's taken them a couple years to get IIS 6 running
right and they still can't get it right. What's up?
To prove a point, IIS 6 employs a four letter extension for their web-
pages, perhaps you've seen it (.aspx).
They broke their tradition of three letter extensions to put an X on
the end of one extension. And it doesn't seem to work right. They
should have called it .asq (Active Server Question). But Microsoft
didn't think that far ahead when they named their extension .asp.
And just what does that extra x mean anyways?
..asp = active server page
..aspx = active server page x ? Oh kind of like XP. Ahh I see, Active
Server Page Experience. Like Active Server Page wasn't an experience?
If it wasn't an experience, why add the extra x? Oh, I see... make them
think it's an eXtra eXtreme eXperience... XXX... oooh, seXy!
The neXt Microsoft version... Xicrosoft Xoes Xallas, and they think
they are clever.
Just what does all that X really mean? They like X more than any other
letter. Everything is X, eXcept .NET. Perhaps we'll see .XNET neXt.
