Re: XP embedded and .NET...

Freeman,

Like I said, you don't want to hear my thoughts. I don't
doubt that M$ is getting better. But I've spent too many
years battling with it, from DOS on up, and I'm in bliss
working with linux and java.

> Yes, C# looks a LOT like Java

It still is the MS answer to Java. And there's a ping pong
game going on too. JavaBeans is Sun's answer to Active-X.
Java Enterprise is Sun's answer to Microsoft transaction
servers. They are wound around each other. They both pop
up new tach based on what the other is doing.

Did you expect to get much out of this question among a
bunch of linux hackers? Most people here are mostly using
linux I think. Some use windows. We won't tell you not to,
have a wild party. This .NET stuff is now going to heat up
the Sun vs M$ wars, and I'm glad I'm not trying to fight
it any longer. I don't even use Sun's java, I use blackdown.
Sun is not a panacea either. They want Java to be the answer
to everything which it's not. VMs makes sense ... sometimes.
