.NET is nice. But it doesn't seem such a massive improvement as some people make it seem. I use.NET a lot, and I have touched Java and I am familiar with C++. I don't see much that.NET exclusively offers. My favourite language is still Python however. And I may be letting my perception of Microsoft and the destruction of Delphi cloud my judgment..NET is nice on Windows, definitely. But on Linux, there are so many more alternatives.
Ok, I just read some of the comments, and it seems like I am not the only one who found that comment strange at best. How do the brains of the legislators work? Do they not follow the same logic patterns as others?
Take an XML format designed to represent a wordprocessed document. How exactly is that going to go out of date? Is there any good reason to believe that 100 years from now, someone won't be able read/parse the document or virtualize OO.org? Seems to me that Microsoft's Office formats only went out of date because they were deliberately changed from version to version. So while I can understand not specifying a single format, I don't understand the stated rationale.

That's what I thought when I saw it. Sweet deal.
It's just plastic
But these things seems to be somewhat against the idea of a democracy at this point.
That's my main influence when I purchase video cards.
Well, Nintendo doesn't believe in selling at a loss. And people seem to love Nintendo games.
UltraEdit/Notepad++ in Windows, Vim in the Linux console, and Kate (sometimes Kdevelop) in Linux GUI.
The summary didn't suggest they were going to be searching people. How would they know if you just had a PDA on you in case of an emergency?
What about those of us outside the US who can't afford to purchase a congress man?
Simply going to the winehq site will give you most, if not all that information.
Soon, they will come for you if you happen to do something that doens't make some big corp. money.
