[ale] .NET

[Mike Millson]

So when does a Microsoft solution make more sense? Can you give me any
concrete examples?

.NET is a good thing, in my opinion.

1.  .NET promotes XML message and storage formats for cross-platform,
cross-language interop.

2.  Mono.  Don't like Microsoft?  That's ok, join the Mono team.

3.  C# is a cool language.  I haven't had this much fun programming in some
time.

4.  Visual Studio.NET is hands down one of the best IDEs on the market
today.  IntelliSense rocks.

I've been programming in C# for about a year, and it (with some exceptions)
is stable and pretty much bug free (especially for a v1.0 product!)

I enjoy linux, and use it here at work when it makes more sense then
Windows.  However, I'll continue to also use Microsoft solutions when they
make more sense, as well.

Just my US$.02

Greetings,
	I just went to an MS presentation about .NET here at my school and of
course their presentation was all in favor of it. I came out of the
presentation with a free copy of WinXP Pro and Visual Studio.NET
Academic Edition, but also thinking that it isn't that bad of an idea
but not my style and I'll avoid it. But, I'm interested in hearing what
people think here both positively and negatively as it applies to Linux
and to computing in general (honestly don't care about the windows only
part). How will it affect us good or bad? What problems are there with
it?

Michael
