I think its about time we add a new MS-Windows board that is specific to MS-Windows programming. Why? Because there have been several threads in the c and c++ boards (probably vb too) that are about windows programming instead of about c or c++.

Is it just my browser IE7 on Vista ? I don't see any submenus when I hover the mouse over the main menus such as [b]Software Development[/b]. I deleted temporary internet files but that didn't help.

Is it possible to allow someone to add new items to a poll after it has been initially created ? Often times I see that posters have other things they would like to add to the poll or something the OP forgot and would like to add.
