Hi,
That is not the way it is here ... My co-worker is consistently
telling me "but Microsoft does it this way ..." and refuses to discuss
alternatives. The problem being the environment in MS is totally
different from our own so most of the development strategies are not
appropriate.

Hi Craig
From your email
I find that many programmers blame their bad coding practices on
Microsoft.
Why would you say "blame their bad coding practices on Microsoft"?
If referring to the "best practice"
Surely, one should not blindly follow any "best practices", but rather
analyze why it is a best practice, understand it and then only implement
it. And make a note where the best practice was not adhered to.
But if blaming it on MS, it sounds more like not wanting to take
ownership of a problem. (I am speaking in very general terms)
Also the lead programmer / team leader / technical architect should
review the code and make recommendations.
Regards
Anton
