Pinvoke.net: AbortSystemShutdown (advapi32) Sample Code - MSDN Examples in C#, VB.NET, C++, JavaScript, F# The Ultimate Visual Studio Tips and Tricks Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs. This article came about as the result of a recent trip I made to a customer. I was presenting on TFS and made the, oft repeated, statement that Agile is better than Waterfall. Now I have to admit that I have never really had anyone challenge me on this assumption since most of the people I know just accept this as truth. On this particular day there were a couple of project managers in the audience and they were none too pleased about my assertion. For the rest of the hour, we went back and forth on the issue. Following are a few of exchanges to the best of my recollection: Exchange 1 Project managers: “You can’t say that agile is better than waterfall, it simply isn’t true.”

Me: “I have twenty years of evidence backing up my claim and I have personally seen it work this way.” Exchange 2 Project managers: “Well, we have government regulations we deal with and you just don’t understand what we do here.” Exchange 3 Project managers: “We don’t use pure Waterfall we use a modified version.” MSDN Virtual Labs.
