Microsoft promises end to 'DLL hell'
« on: March 07, 2003, 02:21:35 PM »
Windows Server 2003 will bring an end to one of the biggest bugbears for Windows users and administrators, according to Microsoft. The problem, which relates to Dynamic Link Libraries, has become an increasing headache over the years.

I can see it now.  Microsoft will call this a brand new feature.  Brainwashing will follow for pushing everyone into thinking they invented this "new feature" that's actually been in use for years on other systems.  The end of the article also mentions another "feature" called xcopy deploy.  Gee, another idea that's already existed for years.

It's just f'ing stupid.

Agreed.  What's more stupid?  The Windows Registry!  Whoever thought up that idea should be shot.
