Star What .NET is and Why We Should Fear it as Well as Embrace it
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 20th Feb 2002 18:45 UTC
.NET (dotGNU too) A lot of people have trouble understanding what .NET really is and what its goals are. Mostly because Microsoft has done a good job of confusing everybody using terms that are not self-explanatory or with terms that mean more that one thing. This editorial will present my thoughts on .NET, what it really is, what its motivations and goals are, and why it is the next "big thing." Should we embrace it or fear it? Both, I daresay.
