"How many readers here really know what .Net is supposed to deliver?" I'm very impressed with the .Net initiative from Microsoft and also Sun and IBM's solutions in this area. I believe they allow the developer and end-user to treat computer systems separated by great physical distances as almost a single single system. That's obviously been done before, but programming for something like this is getting easier every day due to some of these new protocols like SOAP. You don't have to know how SOAP works though, you can program at an even higher level. A nice, simple example of what this enables is the new games under Accessories->Games in XP. Anyone that installs WindowsXP, can play a bunch of games against random/anonymous people on the Internet. Your computer in this case is providing web services as well as being a client. Intel is very excited about this point to point stuff I think. A server for the game would only need to keep track of people signing on and off(maybe scores in some cases), but the client in this case is also providing web services via .Net or whatever competing solution.
