Maybe for standalone and hypergrid, but Windows/.NET is not an option for me when my servers have to be published to the whole world.
Call me paranoid but I don't trust in Windows for any kind of server. The experience (or maybe torture) in my everyday job with Windows servers is that they are intrinsically unsecure and have poor performance (unless you have a bunch of € to spend in hardware). My fear is "well, I update my servers now, no problem, everything is all right", and 2 months later someone of the core team decided that "a new thing from mono 3.4 is needed" and again I have to "run forward" with the mono versions of my servers. 2 months later, the same, and again, and again... I know that is alpha, open source, collaborative and with an "as-is" license, but, seriously, it doesn't mean chaos. I am really frustrated, overall when I read a message in the list with something like "update to version XXX". But this is only my "user" and "utilities developer" point of view. I rarely develop for opensim core, but I use opensim for developing applications... Greetings 2009/8/4 Brianna <wwwe...@gmail.com> > For stability in the attic ...
