What scares me is that he's a "Software Architect"...If he was a Business Analyst or some other random job description on the business side we shouldn't worry...It's the fact that he's doing something with the XNA Toolkit behind the scenes...*shudders a little*

Why would that surprise you? Microsoft recently included VB.NET support for XNA, isn't Word the next step *up* the evolutionary ladder

And you need to get off your high horse. I know for a fact that you, and at least two other MVPS worked at a Consulting firm that charged clients a ton of money for software that didn't allow unit testing and was managed by the most devout Waterfall advocates. And I know that you, Me, and Tobin had all spent many hours "Codin' in Word" - so it's not that radical of a concepgt

And heck, as stupid sounding as Codin in Word is, is it any dumber than running a multi-million dollar firm on Excel? Or sending around Excel sheets to 45 people every week and having a monkey copy and paste everything into a 45mb file sitting on a network share?

I better quit before I get myself in trouble
