Sysadmin Field Notes

Un-google-able

June 15, 2006

Sigh. The easily google-able WinFX moniker has been replaced by the totally useless .NET Framework name.

It seems like I have to try 10 different searches before I finally get all the results I want, since .NET is so generic. COM, .NET...maybe they should just call their next component framework "a".

Imagine the fun of searching for that:

a string class
a "string class"
+a "string class"
+"a string class"
+a microsoft framework "string class"
+damnit "what a stupid name"

Remember, please pick distinctive product names so we can actually find them on the internet...thanks.
