Ashcrow writes "EWeek has posted an article on Microsoft's .NET initiative. It's been three years since we were first introduced to .NET and virtually none of the promised advantages have come true. Is it time for Microsoft to move on?"

    everyone else has been ther and are doing it their way and better.

    php4 blows microsofts lame .NET (rebranded visual basic) for site scripting so far out of the water it absolutely stinks. you can code in php4 faster and better than VB.NET and the learning curve for php4 is shorter. as well as having tons more online resources.

    Microsoft has no chance... why should I pay big $$$ for their solution when I can save tens of thousands and get a better solution for free and recieve better support??

    And you would want to develop for Windows using a virtual machine because...?

    Let's see... worse performance, no improved security because we're talking Microsoft here, no cross-platform capability... yup, sounds like a winner.

    Most people that have poo-poohed the stability of Microsoft's platform haven't:
    • Tried a professional or better version; there's a reason they cost more even if they don't run that CGA poker game you copied off of someone else in high school
    • Gone through the training necessary (i.e., read a book) to install and maintain Windows in a work or enterprise environment
    • Used the stable of tools designed to ease and enhance deployment of Windows technologies -- Windows Terminal Server, Norton Ghost, etc
    The fact is, one can choose between the compatibility offered by many Free operating systems and the tuned performance of Windows much as one can choose between a SUV and a racecar -- but if you can't operate a racecar it's probably better to go with the SUV.

  6. Re:.Net was never clearly defined by TheDredd · · Score: -1, Troll

    most people do not understand exactly what .Net is

    I think most people cannot be bothered to learn what it is . I don't think they want to have their A$$ owned by Microsoft.

    I personally don't like the idea of everything including my toilett seat is being controlled by Microsoft
