Unlike my 360 (20 games and had to get 2 new controllers) that has had to repaired and has to be repaired again. Worse I have to pay for it. I have tried to stay loyal to the xbox brand but if I have to pony up $100 to get the 360 fixed, and it will eventually need to be fixed again, I might as well try out the PS3. You have lost a loyal customer. I have also received the ring of death on my sons 360 elite, when his goes down I will get him a PS3 also.

I know that sometimes the MSDN itself gets broken links, but if the MSDN maintenance people could provide something to help keep the links current, then I would use it. In other words, instead of linking directly to a page in the MSDN, if I could link indirectly in a way that makes it easier to update links that get broken when the MSDN changes, then that would help.<hr class="sig">Sam Hobbs; see my SimpleSamples.InfoMon, 23 Nov 2009 23:17:32 Z2009-11-23T23:17:32Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/44d85265-e0ec-45ef-a00c-25ae8bb80c7ahttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/44d85265-e0ec-45ef-a00c-25ae8bb80c7aSimple Sampleshttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Simple%20SamplesForum clean-upThis forum really needs to be cleaned up.

All that aside, <strong>Since XP I've wanted to set my audio outputs to match my display outputs</strong>. I could see situations where some users would find that behaviour unfavorable, it seems most people want to set the out put on a per application basis, but I wouldn't want to switch even those settings when I change seats. I think matching audio outputs to video makes more sense then audio will always play from the same output you would expect when an application is on that display, almost natural, definately stress free. <strong>Hotkeys to send the focused App to different displays</strong> would be heavenly too.Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:35:57 Z2009-11-23T23:11:38Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/495c9b5f-2ff2-4b52-b65c-0e9543469b3bhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/495c9b5f-2ff2-4b52-b65c-0e9543469b3bJaedenRuinerhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=JaedenRuinerWhat Developers Want Forum...Hello,<br/> Now, I don't know if there is something like this already here on MSDN, but I've been pulling my hair out for the past several hours over issues that I would like to pose before the Microsoft Team directly responsible for developing the .Net Framework, and I think it might be handy for them as well to be able to see a community forum that says:<br/> Hey, .Net team, why don't you add this? <br/>   Or<br/> Could you do it this way for these reasons?<br/> <br/> Personally, I find the Invention of the Friend/Internal accessor to be defined only for a single purpose: Selfish bad programming.  <br/> <br/> There are quite a few Great components out there, that could be made just a little bit better, except the .Net dev team made most of the functionality &quot;Friend&quot;, so the only recourse is to either re-invent the wheel (in complete defiance of what OOP is all about) or decompile the .net libraries and change the accesssors to protected, which is illegal/unethical.  <br/> <br/> But currently, i have not foudn a forum here that directly allows one to communicate with the Develpers of the Windows.FOrms.Namespace, or the Data.Linq namespace, etc, etc, etc.  Sure there are forums that you can ask questions and post comments, but there is no way to really communicate back in a public setting with the .Net crew who developed these libraries so that when they are developing .net 4.0 they can get a direct feed back from the developers who use this stuff and get some insight into: Oh, why not make this more accessible to the developers so they can actually program what they want, not what we give them.<br/> <br/> I think it would be beneficial to all, as well, as opening up other people's comments to truly create a better product, because as it is now, I find .net as equally frustrating as it is helpful.  It is one thing to be able to create an application fast, but it would be quite another to be able to create it <em>right</em> at the same time, and currently the two are mutually exclusive.<br/> <br/> Regards,<br/> Jaeden &quot;Sifo Dyas&quot; al'Raec Ruiner<br/> <br/><hr class="sig">&quot;Never Trust a computer.

As usual Best Buys has held up to their end of the bargain and replaced my Xbox 360. Only this time they upgraded me to an Xbox 360 Elite. This is the first time I did not keep my old hard drive because the elite HD is much larger. When I got home and reconnected everything and tried to recover my gamertag I needed the original E-mail and password to do this.  That was about 4 yrs ago and 2 ISP's ago.  I am not sure if I remember the Email from back then and I certainly do not remember the password I signed up with.  I tried contacting Xbox by phone (4 Times) and each time they get me to go online and fill out a form with all the personal information I can think of to prove I am who I say I am. The reponse I get tells me that the information is not complete and that the old   E-mail Windows live account doesn't exist. I do not want to cancel my Xbox Live account because I have made purchases with this account and do not want to re-purchase them. I don't even know if I can cancel it without the email and password...???<br/><br/>What do I need to do to get my Gamertag back?  I gave my name, gamertag, SSN, Address, Credit card number I am paying for it with including expiration date, The answers to 3 secret questions, the amount of microsoft points I still have on my balance, friend's names on my Xbox Live account and offered to answer any other questions they want to ask me.   <br/><br/>What now?Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:07:17 Z2009-10-20T02:07:17Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/cd3ee1fb-27d8-4ebd-bafc-e8d54bfdfa9ahttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSDNPlans/thread/cd3ee1fb-27d8-4ebd-bafc-e8d54bfdfa9aAkash21http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Akash21Time Zone Update for Outlook(Exchange) and server 2003Hi,<br/><br/>I would like to get the patch to update the time zone for all the servers of my company.<br/><br/>We are using server 2003 standard and the daylight saving is schedule this Sunday at 2 a.m.<br/><br/>I have to update all the servers as well as the exchange server with Outlook calenders.<br/><br/>Our current time zone is GMT +10:00,  Australia Eastern Standard time.
