My VM refuses to shut down from time to time, and I traced it down to dexplorer.exe. If I kill this, I can shut down. Guess what this is? It’s part of the MSDN help system that Delphi uses.

Seriously, this is the most convoluted, useless, pathetic help system I have ever encountered.

No really – thanks, guys. Great job on forgetting the bookmarks when closing a project. I really hate being able to quickly navigate to sections of large source files, and would much rather search and reset the bookmarks each time I open the project.

It’s just the high quality of the XP user interface that I find so appealing.

Leave it to Microsoft to get ALL THREE steps wrong:

1. The information bar is NOT located just below the address bar.
2. There is no option to “Install ActiveX Control” in the right-click menu.
3. There is no Install button in the Security Warning dialog box.

Pathetic. (click the images to see them in full)

Well then thanks for putting the link in the help file, JERKOFFS!

Well done, guys. Well done. Very professional looking. And what’s cool is that both links in the popup are identical. Superb!

Just wanted to congratulate the help content creators on the fine job they did with the sort order of this table:

Hey – Delphi guy – jealous?

This is just quality craftsmanship right here, folks. Top notch. Great environment to work in. Makes me giddy.
