The old New: Windows veteran explains that menu item

"Who among us can say they never created a new class or project by copying an existing one, and then deleting everything inside?"

Typically if I notice myself doing this it probably means the project (or class) has too much boiler-plate and should be fixed.

I recall a version of windows, when I create a new bitmap from that menu, it simply created a broken bmp that couldn't be opened in paint. I avoided it ever since. I suppose if Microsoft were pretending to be "modern" they would have more formats to select from too.
