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 saw some comments with respect to Apple which made me laugh.
Apple still hasn't gotten Cocoa and Carbon apps to behave the same. I doubt adding another is going to help an OS which already has acute schizophrenia. It's bad enough that Sun is promoting Swing as an API which allows programmers to build mac apps. Yea right Sun, tell me another one...
Let's not destroy the one advantage MacOS has always had, HI uniformity.
