Time: 01:56 EST/06:56 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Web 2.0 software developers ranked Microsoft's MSN/Live Windows developer program higher than competing programs offered by Internet leaders Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Facebook and PayPal, according to results of an Evans Data Corp. report released today.

The "Users' Choice: Web 2.0 Developer Programs" report is based on the results of a survey of more than 400 developers, who rated developer programs from the seven companies in 13 categories, including API functionality, blogs, marketing assistance tools/SDKs, Web services, documentation, support and forums. The Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. programs were ranked right after Microsoft Corp.'s.

Read a similar news item on ZDNet's Australia site, basically a group of people picked Microsoft's development suite for its "live" environment better than the other offerings. Each to their own.

BTW I loved ZDNet Australia's take on this "news"... They pulled in *two* Linux geeks just to de-bunk the survey.

I think I'll join ZDNet (Australian site at least) with Computerworld, in my list of "sites to never visit in my life" :-)
