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.

Eugenia and other BeOS users here know that denial is not healthy. How long did we hang onto Be, Inc. and BeOS? Did we know it was hopeless? Not at the time, but from our experience you may find former BeOS lovers the most realistic about Microsoft.NET. It will win the market.
Eugenia, take a look at some of the anti-.NET headlines at www.javalobby.com. It sounds like the Desktop vs. Internet Appliance days at BeNews.com. Java developers will be the group to resist .NET the longest. I doubt it will do them any good.
