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.

I have a lot of doubts about .NET sweeping over the face of the earth.
One thing I am certain of: if .NET is widely deployed, it will be a huge source of upgrade revenue for AMD and Intel. The sheer number of cpu cycles required to to accomplish even the simplest thing inside a .NET application is simply mind boggling.
As a stockholder in AMD and Intel, I say Bring It On, baby.
As a computer user, I'll keep my Linux boxes for writing code, my wife and kids boxes running Win98SE, and my gaming rig running Win2K for a long, long time.
