I could go on here for a while if really tried but I won’t. My main point here is how MS has said all along the .Net is to be this great open architecture, everything can play together and won’t it be great. Turns out they were lying like a rug.
First they patent the CLR so that no other group can implement their standard without thier blessing (and payment). This will like kill off the mono project. They don’t mind and will likely port the CLR themselves to mac, freebsd, solaris but they expressly forbid it ever going to Linux. For being so dominant they are certainly very paranoid.
Second, I am told their web services are moving to where they will only to web services that are based on windows.
How is this better than Java I ask?
I expect more to come on this subject.
(If you want to comment on this I’m afraid it had to be turned off because the bloody spammers keep putting crap on this entry.)
