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.

see one more person use the letters M$ again, it'll be too soon. Because i'm bored i started counting, but i got bored with that too, so i stopped at 70. Using "M$" does not put you into the "in" crowd, so stop it.
I thought the article was good. I wouldn't say it was pro-microsoft, but actually more an agreement that the idea is good. I mean, come on.. she did mention other alternatives. How is it her fault that .NET is the only one that's actually making waves and people are interested in. Whether people like it the idea, or not like the idea doesn't matter. They'll still be talking about it. It served as a good Cliff's Notes(tm by cliff i guess). Nothing was said of the dirty little details, which will make or break it.. but then again, unless your a software developer, do you care right now and if so WHY? And if you're not a software developer, hold onto your world very tight and cherish it. As us developers are the ones on the roller coaster first who get shot off on the broken tracks.
