what realy bugs me is nfs mounted home folder

On: Mandriva 2007 Released

Mandriva - great for home usage, everything works smoothly. The moment you install it at the office, where your home folder is nfs mounted - pletora of things stops working. For example Amarok. Strange KDE bugs show their ugly faces on nfs mounted home.

On: Cloudscape Gains Momentum

There is more than UI. What about DI

On: Coding The Future Linux Desktop [updated]

Modern programming is about copying data from one place to another. It is 40% user interface and 40% database interface, the rest is business logic. What about database persistence? What about ORM tools? Java is superior here. All database persistence layers for .Net are years behind persistence layers developed for Java. See Hibernate for example. One needs not only a UI framework, but a database framework. What can .Net can do about that? Nothing yet.
