    Someone with Photoshop skills needs to edit it so the guy is holding his pinky up to his mouth. ;)

    You know what I think of when I look at the other guy?

    GET IN MAH BELLY!

    I don’t know where the photo is actually from, but the guy with the cap looks like Keith (Ewen Macintosh) in The Office (British version).

  9. Mike Dunn says:

    Very good, Mario ;)

  10. "The other guy is Johnny Vegas! Surely?!"

    It scares me that people posting here would actually know who Johnny Vegas was :)

    I remember when he wasn’t famous, and was compering at the Frog & Bucket in Manchester. :) (Ahh… the good old days when at least twice a week I’d be heading down there to hang out)

  11. Dave Laundon says:

    Simon, I bet it’ll scare you even more to learn that someone else here actually knows about the blue-footed one…

  12. OK, now I am scared. :-) Hi Dave. :)

    That sidekick conveniently resembles Fat Bastard.

WHY DID I DUPLICATE THIS CONTENT HERE? Let me first say this site has never had anything to sell and has never shown ads of any kind. I have nothing monetarily to gain by duplicating content here. Because I had made my own local copy of this content throughout the years, for ease of using tools like grep, I decided to put it online after I discovered some of the original content previously and publicly available, had disappeared approximately early to mid 2019. At the same time, I present the content in an easily accessible theme-agnostic way.

The information provided by Raymond's blog is, for all practical purposes, more authoritative on Windows Development than Microsoft's own MSDN documentation and should be considered supplemental reading to that documentation. The wealth of missing details provided by this blog that Microsoft could not or did not document about Windows over the years is vital enough, many would agree an online "backup" of these details is a necessary endeavor.
