I did a little reading of the stuff at that site, and .Net looks to me at first blush like a enhanced/glorified MFC, combined with some content and ASP features closely tied to MSN. Nothing has grabbed me by the throat yet and made me shout, "Yes!" But I know I need to read some more. Charles Tutt (TM)

rudedog, "Norm - the goal of .NET is not to "make the server version of OFFICE perform better over a network". That kind of thinking is exactly why an initiative like .NET will win over the extension of existing paradigms into the internet space. I guess it is too much to expect that you would read some of the material and try and understand why this is different. But it is. " I guess it is too much for you to read the actual question. If the answer is that .NET will not add any value to networked office applications then what good is it to the corporate office space? Wow, I can recompile a C# executable and run it on the Unix box that has .NET installed. Wow, distributed objects or services; now that's a new "paradigm". Sounds like they went dumpster-diving behind NeXT at some time in the past. Must have been before Bill got too chubby to scale security fences. Cheers, Norm
