Web 2.0 software developers ranked Microsoft's MSN/Live Windows developer program higher than competing programs offered by Internet leaders Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Facebook and PayPal, according to results of an Evans Data Corp. report released today.

The "Users' Choice: Web 2.0 Developer Programs" report is based on the results of a survey of more than 400 developers, who rated developer programs from the seven companies in 13 categories, including API functionality, blogs, marketing assistance tools/SDKs, Web services, documentation, support and forums. The Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. programs were ranked right after Microsoft Corp.'s.

The 400 so called "users" are nothing but developers and not general public and they are just concerned about the technicals. Who cares which one is technically better?

1 thing which the 400 developers absolutely miserably failed to rank is actual popularity! Who gives a damn about technicals when everyone is using it and majority likes web2.0 things other than Microsoft.. Does some need to tell this or do a survey to prove that google and yahoo is more popular than Microsoft?

It's like saying the Iphone technically sucks? Who gives a damn? everyone has it, it's cool, I'll get one! and apple has sold millions of Iphones.. does someone need to tell everyone that technical forward is not the best and popular always? If it was, then Linux would be beating the sh!t out of windows now.. but alas.. popular things more than technically better things is where the crowd is! sigh.. if only some people could understand this!

let alone yahoo and google, I don't know what bunch of MS paid didiot developers these 400 are to say that MSN live ranks better than Facebook!!

total loosers!

lol.. only if you had some brains in your head kid..

There is a difference of a distance between the sun and the moon between and end product and the standards that build the product.. As I mentioned in my previous post, linux, facebook etc are end products, the protocols that they work on is not making a difference to the end user because it is mostly confined to that product!

When it comes to standards, it is not based on popularity because of the simple fact that people are not going to use that standard as an end product but an implementation of the standard. And standards simply cannot be judged by normal public. If the 400 so called developers were ranking standards and not end products, then it would make some sense!

Anybody with 1 gram of brain inside their head would understand the logic behind it! alas, seems like you have less than 1gm

Standards are not end products and only end products are based on popularity of general public, popularity of protocols and standards are confined to the developer community and not the general public!

This is where you are confusing what I told. The problem is terming the ranking as "Users" choise when it's about development platforms. That was what I told first... and you managed to twist it and finally bring it back to my first argument... congrats..
