    Yes. It doesn't suffer from mechanical failure, a lot lighter, and don't require a power source.

    A hard drive is an expensive place to archive stuff.

    As someone who uses both, I use portable harddrives for data that changes often (backups..) and have a short life (files around a project for instance). If I want to keep something and expect to access it rarely and / or be confident that it will work in 5 years time, I use DVD's.

    Respect.


    I am one of those developers that have had over a year of using .Net and visual studio commercially. And hey, I have also done java - CORBA stuff on Lotus Notes & Oracle. I have opinions both ways. The questions you need to be asking yourself when choosing the platform, or not, are:


    1. Are you building apps the need to run on desktops (on which window dominates)? - Use .Net Winforms (instead of VC++ or VB6).
    2. Are your web applications being hosted by yourself (ie you are an ASP)? - Use what ever you like.
    3. Are you building web applications AND desktop applications AND those desktop apps use SOAP etc to work with the web apps? - Use .Net if you are using windows server side.
    4. Does your server software need to be installed on customers hardware? - Use Java as it more likely to be accepted in the market place.
    5. Do you want to use just one vendor for DB, middleware, os, language tools, webserver etc? - Use .Net, otherwise use Java.
    6. Cash, MS licences cost more than Linux, but the real cost is in employees. Can you get staff to know your choosen platform?

    Yeah, perhaps a little simplistic, but we standardized on .Net because of #3 above, and with Visual Studio.Net we have a built a product that is comparable to our competitors with 10% of the staff they have and in 25% of the time spent. We have one tool that allows us to build every aspect of our software. We can debug and step through, in the one environment desktop code (Forms and Javascript), server side code and db code. Can that be done in any other tool?
