Why was Pinball removed from Windows Vista?
This is an excellent example of why comments in code are so very useful, helpful and in my opinion, necessary.<p><i>... nobody at Microsoft ever understood how the code worked (much less still understood it), and that most of the code was completely uncommented, we simply couldn't figure out why the collision detector was not working. Heck, we couldn't even find the collision detector!</i><p>To all those folks out there who keep finding reasons to try and be clever with their language, or omit comments from their code: now you can remember Pinball. It's very possible that with some minimal commenting about what functions did, or what the intentions of block of codes were, Pinball could have lived on. Heck, we could have even seen a Modern UI version of Pinball.
