OK- well just the fact that nobody seems to know what .net is, or what the msft enterprise app strategy is, is enough for me. I don't think they have an app server that is robust enough to act as a standalone product, at least I've never heard of it. People forget this lack of focus in apps wasn't always the case with msft. I was working at Dell in 1998 and the entire Dell online store was developed with msft products (Oracle apps were behind it all of course nobody tells you that) - but anyway the customer facing stuff was all msft, they had a page on their site telling enterprise IT depts how to setup online storefronts using all msft interdev. It seemed like msft was going to take over IT then. Now even if you know what you want to do you can't figure out if msft has a product for it. L
