I for one appreciate job opportunities like this being brought to the attention of the forum.
I believe you mean patronization. That's what happens when you stay up past your bedtime.
You can believe what you like, I meant patronising. If you think there's something wrong with that, point it out. That would be more constructive than stating what you 'believe' I meant to say.

In English we spell it with an S not a Z
I meant the form, as in verb as opposed to noun. ;)
You need to spend less time being a douche and more time brushing up on your gerunds / present particples. The form is fine.

Something like Core Audio (yes, I'm pointing to Apple - they did that roght).
WASAPI is actually working quite fine here (Win 8).

Fine with me. For the record, Aero was never imposed to the users. Any user that wanted, could disable Aero, and have the "classic" Windows look. Why didn't Microsoft leave the option to the users?

Windows 10 still allows "themes" (thank God for that). Why not have a theme the preserved the Aero look, with icons that don't look like the work of kinder garden kid, and leave the option to turn it on or not to the users?

Why do we have to install third party applications to have that feature?

That is by far the best example of a pot/kettle idiom I've ever seen.

Either way, it's absurd for a professional company like Microsoft to post jobs in such an unprofessional manner.

Why was it an unprofessional manner?

I think its a great idea for MS to look for talented VST developers on KVR, there are a lot of really talent people here (remember when the Alchemy developers absconded to Apple!)
X32 and 24C mixers, S88MK3, Live + PUSH 3, Osmose, RedShift 6, Pro3, S4, Tempera, Syntakt, Digitone, OP1-F, OPXY, TR-1000, Eurorack, TD27 Drums, Guitars, Basses, Amps and of course lots of pedals!

I agree. Where else would they have a better chance of find really talented and skillful people for the task they look for?

They could have reached out to kvr for an actual ad to avoid the inevitable attacks and focus on the listings.

Im guessing Apple reached out to camel audio directly.

The fact that you find the attacks inevitable is regretful, to say the least :roll:

Why are they inevitable?

Observing patterns is regrettable? Sorry?

I prefer this method over Apple, they would not bother with hiring via KVR, they just bought up Camel Audio instead :P
