Hi Michael
I have had the same, problem, and usually it the person that has done his MCSD.
I believe, that one should understand the reason behind the best practice, and
implement if appropriate. If one is not open to alternatives, how is one going
to improve oneself.
There are a few things I can not be negotiated on, but anybody can ask me for
the reasons.
I worked on Site Server (V3) a long time ago. We had an audit done on the
system, and the results were very poor. The customer lost a lot of confidence
in us. We only later found out about this and when we explained why certain
thing were done certain ways all was ok again.
Most of the reasons were that it was passed (on the customer's request) on Site
Server, and a framework store supplied by MS. Since we had to work within this
framework, we had to do it a certain way.
But an answer that "MS said it is a good practice" does not fly with me. If
someone can not tell me WHY it is a good practice, I do not believe them.
Regards
Anton

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.
