Frans/all replies, I ABSOLUTELY agree with basically all points made. I think the key idea here is the 'general specification' concept well known in the 'other platform'. I believe this concept becomes especially relevant in areas of the platform where Microsoft is not fulfilling the much needed functionality. I'd also like to add another point. WE NEED THESE FEATURES NOW, not in 3-5 years.
IMO, if Microsoft continues on the present course of the status quo, a lot of us will be re-evaluting the main development platform that they will be using in future. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŪ http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: NEW!
