.NET (dotGNU too) 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.

Excuse me Don, but from the pile of books read to date, from the kindergarden to the University postgrade, strikes me somehow funny that we shall call "optimization" a mutation we can't explain. Isn't that what Charles Lutwidge Dodgson once called "a calm assumption"?
