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.

Even if the .Net concept is the best solution in many fields of computing, the fact that the initiative comes from Microsoft, makes me very suspicious.
And I ask my self why?
For users good? Maybe.
For Microsoft good? Yes (and it’s OK with me as far as they work by the “live and let live.”)
But as we know Microsoft works by “ If you are not with us- you against us”.
Instead of making less products but make them well, they trying to take as much as possible and crash the opposition and finally they bring us innovations.
