  4. Controlling Programmers... on Why Microsoft Will Never Make .NET Truly Portable · · Score: 1

    As a programmer I've stay far away from .NET. First .NET is just a component library, and to be honest Microsoft Library is not "great at all", Most end up paying for 3rd party tools.

    Then deploying is another problem making sure your clients or server has the correct .NET library. "This is worst than those VB runtimes you had to deploy"

    Then at anytime Microsoft may find a bug, and release an update that may break your application.

    Forget cross system compatible, Microsoft wants to lock the programmers to programming in their environment. Microsoft is resorting to .NET like they did with DirectX make it easier for the programmer, then the plus side is it runs on Windows Only.

    Microsoft did all this to slow down the efforts towards Linux and Macintosh from running windows applications. If they control the framework of the programming language then they can stop programs from being converted and complied on another OS.

    The solution is use Borland, if you a VB / .NET user use Borland Delphi, the VLC library is just awesome.
