Ordinarily I would brush off complaints about prerelease alpha software quality. But the same problems are affecting mature flagship products.

Last month a Microsoft Visual Studio update intercoursed all our Azure development machines. We never got any reply from Microsoft, and had to reimage all the machines. I see from https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/... this has nearly a dozen repos, and still no official reply or workaround.
