.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.

Eugenia,
It seems like most of those Google links are just articles from June'ish 2001 time-frame. I went to the FreeBSD/projects page, Microsoft's .Net page, Google searches...Hellllloooooooo, Microsoft, FreeBSD, Corel...anybody home????

THe only thing even remotely interesting that I saw was that "early beta copies should be available in the first half of 2002, with delivery in the second half." Well folks June is not that far away, and "the second half" of 2002 is just around the corner (sorry to break the news).

Doesn't it seem kind of odd that a project of this magnitude isn't showing up on the FreeBSD projects page?

???
