Their C/C++ compiler is pretty good. Their static analyzer (which requires one of the full-frontal editions of Visual Studio) is crap compared to Clang's scan-build or cppcheck.

Really now? When have you ever known a publicly held company to prioritize development and long term results, over short term profits.
Well, Comcast is doing that very thing right now. The company is an enigma. They're moving the state of the IPv6 art forward in a tangible way. Their business class service is great. Every salesperson and tech I've dealt with has been sharp, helpful and friendly. At the same time they throttle traffic, then deny that they're doing it. They maintain low (even at 300GB) caps. Their CPE quality (from DVRs to routers) is astoundingly awful (even business class).

I have indeed read the web page. In fact, I'm using scan-build + gcc as part of an automated build system. That doesn't change the fact that gcc itself doesn't ship with a static analyzer.

It's missing a decent static analyzer?

No static analysis. No redistributable CRT.

The stub installer conflates "CNET" with the name of the software package, both in its file name and in its installation wizard. For projects and products that that are registered trademarks, wouldn't that constitute some sort of violation?

Seconded. His analysis running up to 2008 was spot-on.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to go "tsk tsk" and be dismissive or be impressed that she had clear and concise specs which the vendor was able to meet?

I think they have. The lesson the guys who decide which technology to use have learned is that if you invest in MS technologies and put them in your customers you'll have several good years. Then Microsoft will outdate those technologies soon and give you another round at the same consulting money.
The open source world is completely different. We stabilized on Perl^WPHP^WRuby^WNode^WEastAsia years ago and never looked back.
