----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on BDOTNET
----------------------------------------------------------- From: RedSunBeer Message 4 in Discussion i too am a dotnet/ms tech developer and the statistics given are fine but this is not about windows and IE's popularity. the fact remains that an OS independent development platform is preferred these days. many companies and governments consider it better to not be tied down to a specific vendors software. ofcourse windows and IE are popular for desktops which is why the high google rating. the point to note is that on the server side windows is not popular and most of us are developing n-tier applications which means the server to be used is unlikely to be windows. this is why rival software are being preferred. i have personally been told by the software head of a company that they are moving away from micosoft technologies because they dont see any advantage in using it except for small to medium applications and those too can be developed using rival software platforms just a well. dotnet is a great technology and it should not be tied to windows platform only. otherwise simply ship the dotnet CLR along with or as part of the windows OS. ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/BDotNet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
