I actually use both gc'd and native code in my apps. Generally speaking, when some component is time critical i tend to use native code, and when it's not the benifits outweigh the cons to not use a a gc'd environment
Bill Gates says 'You don't need perfect code to avoid security problems.' Instead he suggests that users acquire and properly configure firewalls and make sure that they keep their software patches up-to-date.
Come on now. I deal with end-users all the time. They have problems finding their damn "start" buttons, and the illustious Mr. Gates is suggesting that these users install and configure their own firewalls?
True, there is no perfect OS and all OS's are going to be vulnerable in some way. True again that Windows holds the desktop market in it greasy hands, but instead of attempting to meet "corperate deadlines" and wasting time and money by adding functionality into the OS consequently putting other companies out of business, lets start writing some quality code. Screw the deadlines.
All I have to say is coughmiscrosoftcough. Someone posted already (sorry can't remember the name) that. "If all software worked perfectly, programmers would be out of a job."
