Actually, with the.Net Framework, you can run a web based application locally using IE 5.5. So, the application will be on your hard drive where it "belongs".
According to a post in the DOTNET discussion forum, Tony Goodhew, C# Product Manager for Microsoft comments that the.Net framework is already running on a non-windows platfrom. Maybe Linux?
"During the presentation I was asked about whether or not there were 2 or
more implementations of the CLI. At Microsoft we have implemented 2 versions
of the CLI. These are known as our.NET Frameworks and.NET Compact
Frameworks. Further it was asked what platforms these were running on.
Currently Microsoft has these frameworks running on all the Windows
platforms (Win2K through WinCE) and 1 non-Windows platform. Unfortunately
I'm not able to comment any further on the non-Windows platform."
I think you're having a hard time seperating the marketing hype from the technical architecture that.Net represents. Developing web based applications using the.Net framework doesn't have anything to do (directly) with 'renting' software. It's merely a technical framework that allows developers to quickly build scaleable, distributed web based applications.
Using PHP doesn't lock you into not charging for the use of a web based application just because it's a free, open source technical.
It sounds like your hate for Outlook is because your schools admin don't know what they're doing. You could just as well say "I hate Novell".
Then you go on talking about how much you hate iMac's because you have to help your dormmates because (again) your school's admin didn't properly configure/implement/research the new system.
If you were to stop RANTING and take a look at Outlook with a more mature attitude, you might like it, and if not, at least you'd have some better reasons.
Out of curiosity I checked pricing. I picked the DHS model (Night Vision is not available on all models)
I also included some of the other features that most geeks would be interested in (CD-ROM Navigation, ect).
Cadillac DHS Base MSRP $ 44,700*
Individual Options:
On-Board CD-ROM Based Navigation Display with Bose® 4.0 High Performance Music System Consists of: Six-Disc CD Changer (located in glove box) $ 1,995
Radio - AM Stereo/FM Stereo, Cassette Tape and MiniDisc, Weatherband, Digital Signal Processing, Radio Data System, & Theftlock; Eight-Speaker Bose® Acoustic System $ 300
There is an internet Client for Notes available, except that it sucks more than the Windows Client. At least it doesn't take up 50MB+ of hard drive space on your machine.
Make your Web pages free-standing World Wide Web pages are different from books and other documents in one crucial respect: hypertext links allow users to access a single Web page with no preamble. Thus Web pages need to be more independent than pages in a conventional book.
There's more info at the site, if you want to read it. It's an excellent resource for basic HTML design principles.

That's what I'm looking for too!! Where do I sign up?
E-mail me if you come up with a design or any ideas and what you had to do it get someone to produce it.
