Thanks Bill, you've proved once again that geeks don't leave their room other than to see Star Wars movies.
As a marketing fuckwit I appreciate your stereotype. It's like all those damn females - they are just so 'not male'.
OK, I'll admit, a large chunk of marketing people are wankers. Pure and simple.
But not all of us. I'm met a few who are good and doing good things. Some don't even chase the dollar. They work for not for profit companies using marketing to help charities better help who they want to help.
And me? Well I think I was a geek first, so maybe that's why I'm different. I work in tech doing product development. I recently argued to reduce our logo size and said we shouldn't do a big competition around the world cup because 'it is just fucked up'. I am going to put google text ads in our web pages, but that's cause we give away our product for free. I think that is ok. Tell me otherwise. I'm sure you will.
To be honest, I often don't sleep well at night because of the shit that marketing (and business in general) does to the world. And if you can honestly say you don't conribute to this shit, then I'll bow down low.
Cheers.
How wide spread is .Net?

I work on consumer applications and would love for our team to be able to develop on.Net, but I have no idea from anyone how widespread it is? I don't think we can get people to download a 20mb framework for a 500k app?.Net has faster dev than C++ or C# due to the available tools, but that's no good if the users won't use it.
Any ideas?
