Suggestion Box 2

Raymond Chen

Post suggestions for future topics here instead of posting off-topic comments. Note that the suggestion box is emptied and read periodically so don’t be surprised if your suggestion vanishes. (Note also that I am under no obligation to accept any suggestion.)

Topics I are more inclined to cover:

• Windows history (particularly the Windows 95 era).
• Windows user interface programming in Win32, and shell programming in particular.
• General programming topics (selectively).
• Issues of general interest.
• My personal hobbies.

Topics I am not inclined to cover:

• The blog software itself.  You can send feedback about .Text to its author, Scott Watermasysk.
• Internet Explorer. You can try the IE folks.
• Visual Studio.  You can try one of the Visual Studio blogs.
• Managed code. This is not a .NET blog. I do not work on .NET technologies. As far as .NET is concerned, I’m just another programmer like you. Occasionally I touch a .NET-related topic, but I do not bring any expertise to the subject.
• Non-software Microsoft topics, such as product support policies, marketing tactics, and hiring policy.
• Microsoft software that isn’t Windows. (Exchange, Office, …)
• Windows topics outside user interface programming. (Plug and Play, Terminal Services, Windows Messenger, Outlook Express, SQL, IIS, remoting, SOA…)
• User interface programming in anything other than Win32. (Because I know nothing about it.)
• Debugging a specific problem. (Not of general interest.)
• Legal issues.
• Predictions for the future. (What’s the title of this blog again?)

(Due to the way the blog server is set up, a new suggestion box gets set up every 30 days, assuming I don’t forget to create a new one. If I forget, you can send me a reminder via the Contact page. You can also peek at the previous suggestion box.)
