An Anonymous Coward writes: "Whit Diffie and Susan Landu (both of Sun Microsystems) comment on why .NET is a bad idea and is in many ways in conflict with the US political struture and ideals." This is a good read, but of course Sun has their own plans and motivations in this field.

    The difference is that Equifax (now Experion) doesn't draw its revenue directly from the consumer -- they don't physically rely on selling things to the mass market for revenue. In addition, Experion functions under a great deal of government restriction regarding what they can and cannot do with the information they possess.
