But the "employing power" is embedded to every piece of M$ code.
I recently had a project which would normally take no more than 2 days to
do, but since asp.net v2 was involved, it took couple of weeks to find
work-arounds to make things work. Even then, we never figured out how to
actually accomplish a working solution for 302 Redirects. Web is full of
examples and instructions how to do it, none of the several attempted
methods worked. Error messages received were not helpful at all either.
