Why is 2.0 always the best version?

I sometime wonder why all of my 2.0 versions are the best. I think in 1.0 we rarely have enough time, or maybe that it’s such a hot item, we rush to get it out the door. I had this mouse problem where I wanted to have multiple mice on my laptop, a touch pad and a mouse. The problem was that the resolution of the mouse was MUCH higher than the touch pad, so touching my mouse would cause the pointer to move at screaming speeds. Of course I could go into control panel in windows and set the speed, but I got tired of going back and forth with the settings….

So I rushed out a quick app that I thought would be quick and dirty, but it quickly got got out of hand. I released it in a previous blog article. While it did do the trick, I realized it SUCKED!!

So here is 2.0. I re-wrote it from the ground up. I used some better encapsulation in classes and list classes. I also used data binding on all forms, so there was much less hookup code. I feel a lot better about this version than the last.

I hope it solves your problems as much as it does mine.

Download it from my SkyDrive here – WinMouseSpeed v2.0

I wonder how long till 3.0 needs to evolve ….. NOT
