Ladies and gentlemen,
Precisely a year ago my company was trying to develop a project. The company is history now, so is the project, but the plans are still there in my head, because it was my idea.
When I heard.NET announcements, the first thing to think was "Crap. They stole my idea".
Of course, Microsoft didn't steal my ideas from me, they just set on the same path I was, and since I already have been to that place, here's what I tell you all:
If Microsoft really manages to do what they claim to do and promote.NET, we're in shit. Imagine that Microsoft becomes one huge VMS, and your (well not your, bot their) computers become VT220 terminals. Nice, yeah, data stored remotely, mobile, private, secure, but...
"r00t's got tha keys"
