WLW - Didn't they hear about 64-bit ???

When opening WLW it says that the Beta has expired and forwards me to download the new version. When I do that - I get a message that it is not supported for 64-bit windows (I'm using XP 64bit).

Hum, what?

1. 64bit is alive and kicking and getting more and more users. It's time that software companies (MS being one, IMHO) get used to provide support for 64bit platforms by default.

2. If the new version does not support my platform - why sending me to download it and waste my time and nerves?

Grrrrr...

How consistent should a blogger be?

I recently got back to reading Jeff Atwood's blog, after a long pause on my part. I was very surprised to see advertisements there, especially since I remembered him discussing this issue in the past - opting for the negative. Of course, one can always change his mind. But still, I find it quite funny. Reading the last few comments on that post you can read him agreeing that advertising on a blog is "like advertising on your business card".

Apparently he now doesn't mind advertising on his business card ...

By the way - I found Jon Galloway's comment hilarious...
