rudedog- You know I have great respect for you. Virtually this entire post leaves me in ansolute awe and dumbfounded that *you wrote it. --- While Fredrick may be a bit premature about personal autonomy on the network because of a lack of things like being able to have encrypted 'stuff' on MSN/hotmail servers (non-minable) and easily using secure protocols to exchange personal information, he's not wrong. While PCs played an integral part in making the web (and the rest of the internet) what it is today, the 'personal empowerment' of PC's in the end pale anemically to the open standards network of dispirate servers in the distributed (not glass house) computing paradigm. --- .NET is about personal empowerment? These guys have ONE thing they submit to a "standards body" and the rest of the world beomes proprietary to you? --- MS has lost their developer mindshare. C# and dot net is MS's hail mary into the developer community. MS wanting to personally empower them, yes? - More like MS leveraging the dregs - the trailing edge against the future. --- These dogs don't learn new tricks. Something like 90% of their earnings come from a nearly irrelevant desktop OS (which you don't use) and a 20 year old shell game of hide the Office document format. The MS business model is melting down. They're losing their 'centralized control'; their chokepoints. It's all that they know. --- The 80's are gone. But, you know that. -JCJ
