you think Linux and Java is better for you, that's great, and I'll never try
to convince you otherwise.
Again, I'm not interested in arguing Windows versus Linux, or .NET versus
Java. Both have their places, both are good technologies (in my opinion),
and some people will choose one and some people will choose the other, based
on their needs, experiences, skills, values, goals, etc.
My point all along has been: IF someone has decided to use Windows as their
sole platform, and IF that person is interested in maximizing platform
integration and performance on Windows, and IF that person is willing to
sacrifice portability to Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS X, THEN that person should
choose .NET instead of Java.
If my three IF's don't apply to you (which obviously they don't), then any
discussion of .NET (and BlueDragon.NET) is clearly irrelevant to you, and
you and I have nothing to disagree about.

This need not be the case.
It's another exmaple of why wedding yourself to Windows is bad (for
those who
don't know, MS used to do a JVM. Only they refused to stick to the
standards,
and got rather told off about it, so went out and wrote their own
'Java
killer', .Net).

I'd argue it's better to have portability, performance is cheap to
fix.
