I just thought that I’d add one to the list of folks saying that we appretiate these updates. Personally I find the whole thing quite interesting anyway, as I plan on working in the computer industry after college.

Adam, I don’t know if you read any programming blogs but I regularly read Larry Osterman’s(he’s an MS employee). Anyway, today he mentioned your blog on his blog . Kinda cool that he plays AC as well.

His blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/

We currently do have a pattern matching program for finding memlocs. In a normal month, it hits about 90% of the values we need. In a good month (rare) it hits 100. That is why for most regular patches we’ve had memlocs up in 4 hours or less. Most of that time is spent verifying what we have.

With the new release, not only did actual locations change, but the methods of using those locations changed also, throw in some new object types and strings, and Hazridi has been putting in double overtime. If there wasn’t so much dye in his hair, it would probably be falling out.
