Do you care to casually mention what you worked on for these years??? Only curiosity here.....

Hi Burr,

Nothing tremendously exciting - I first worked on a huge project for several years that was then canceled and never released, and then after that I worked on some UI infrastructure and some e-mail tools for the MSN client software (MSN Explorer).

Microsoft doesn't really focus on making software to be used for artistic creation though, and that's one thing that I really missed.

I did learn a whole lot of new stuff while I was there and got to work with a lot of great people, so it was good for me in a lot of ways too, just for the long term it is more fun for me to do my own thing if possible.

Thanks.. I'm certainly glad you are doing your own thing!!!! lol

I figured the mshtml host revalation was spawned out of that time period.. Something like an "AHA" moment...

Anyway, was just curious.... :o

Hi 张树栋,

Hi Burr,

Yup, that was when I became accustomed to using mshtml for desktop software UI.

For MoI v3 though I'm shifting away from mshtml and instead to WebKit.
