Programming for Windows must be a crime in the first place, and getting paid to do it does not make it any more right, its just wrong.
As to the.Net junk, well, i will repeat it again, microsofts.net platform is junk, the only improved language in.net is VB, the rest inhale vigorously in an upward and outward motion somewhat convulsively..net from the beginning was another one of microsofts attemts to dominate the proprietary software developement market, and again breaking the standards, as they did in so many other areas. Those closed-scource, proprietary compilers are so bloated that they might even outbloat windows itself. The.net platform programmers are still probably ashamed of admitting the fact that they had a hand in the project to any hacker that they might know or see...
They have, but it is still possible to remove IE pieces from Explorer, and the http is still not completely built into the Explorer as it doesnt support it as natively as FTP. What I'm saying is that they will all be one single, huge, useless application...

Agreed here, once you've had Gentoo, you dont go back until there is something better, but that something has a long way to go...
Installing gentoo from binaries works for those of us who just donthave the time to compile, for others there is distcc if you have a few computers, or better yet a network that is not being used. If you really have no time for your Linux distro, you might as well go with one of the bigger and more well known distros. I also think that many slackware people will get off of slackware and install Arch, but there's no way Arch competes with Gentoo in speed.
Also spealking of minimalistic, I'd like to take a look at the size of their minimalistic kernel and the possibility of control over it...
The only thing that microsofts improvement is going to do is add more junk on top of the already existing one and redefine the html standards to something crazy once again...
Well, chances are that microsoft will incorporate IE into Explorer, as they did with FTP and such, and all windows users will be stuck with unremovable IE forever, either that or IE will define new standards that deal with their.net junk...
