No, I used it correctly for what I was saying. Don't put words in my mouth please.

MDI has not been removed. It's been DEPRECIATED as in it's still there and it still works (kinda) but MS no longer see value in it's function. My terminology for what I was saying was correct.

This sub-thread is a classic example of HN pedantry. Down vote me into oblivion if it makes you happy. /sigh



But deprecated doesn't mean it's "been removed". If I understand what you were originally trying to say, then deprecated is a better fitting word than depreciated because that is a financial term. Whereas deprecated is a common software term meaning exactly what you said "it's still there and it still works [...] but no longer see value in it's function".


Not pendantry, just pointing mistakes...
