put it on your site:

Do you ever wonder about those models developers who appear during the installation of Microsoft Visual Studio? You know, those great looking people who come up next to the bulleted lists of killer features in the version of Visual Studio that you're installing?

I often wonder what type of programmers they are. Since they're shown in the product, they must use the product too, right? Are they C# developers? Do they dabble in VB.NET (what does 'Mort' look like anyway?). Visual Studio ships with C#, VB.NET, and C++, so they must be one of those three.

Here is your chance to voice your opinion on which type of programmer each Visual Studio 2008 installation screen model is. Take the survey now... 147 people have already done so!
