Moose_Master:
And can u explain to me please the meaning of "is just not working as expected" ? Because from what I see is plain and simple : IS NOT WORKING.
With all due respect but I think u are trying to defend a lost case. Why ? Are u working for Microsoft ? And if u do why cant u accept a reality.
With all the respect for your opinion, nothing is all white or black in this world. It is more than often shade of gray. I don't try to defend a lost case.
I would prefer myself to have the real cumulative distance from the route than "bird flies". And no i have nothing to do with microsoft. I am designing software myself from many years and i can understand that sometimes someone could have thought about a feature in a software and a different way of doing it could have been better. But i know also that for some people no matter how you would have done it, it would never be correct, because it is not exactly the way they want it.
When you said it was false i simply don't agree with you. Nothing was false in Larry sentence. They really implement a feature like that, but it is not what most users have expected. They probably miss the target...
I just don't like this kind of "just constructive criticism". If you really want to be constructive, don't say things like "OK that makes Larry statement false.". This look to me you think
he is a liar.
This is not my definition of "constructive criticism". Explaining what you really want in that feature, why you don't like it, etc and not giving assumption about other people would be real "constructive criticism".
This is my opinion. On a forum, you should always take care of what you are saying about others because it could be wrongly interpreted...
