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.

"Microsoft is made up of people, just like you. Microsoft employs thousands of families, and not just tech workers. Microsoft puts food on the table for thousands of construction workers, bus drivers, janitors, movers, and grounds keepers' families just to name a few."
A very good point. Let's also remember that the nazis employed (directly or indirectly) most of germany a few decades ago. Just because they "put food on the table" doesn't make them good.
