They were using it as responses to it could run anywhere and they were supporting it not going against it, they just said it didnt run well.
If i "had" to use .net then of course I'd take any other product that offered it over m$, I seriously hate them and their crappy products. I'd go to blue dragon first then concider the options. As far as vmware goes I only need 1 and thats paralles just to run a crappy browser called "ie" to see how bad it jacks up my perfectly good code! I'm not into the whole enterprise thing, y'all can do that and work for someone else, i'm perfectly happy staying small and making all the money and not giving most of what I make to some guy out playing golf while i work ;) ~Dave - formerly known as "the disruptor"~ ---------------------------------------- From: "Phillip Holmes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 11:35 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Don't need a Windows Server OS if using Apache? Dave, Obviously, asking any M$ oriented guy about a viable alternative to .NET is going to generate a negative response. The reality of mono it has grown up. Google is getting on board with mono.. Check out some facts here: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-mono/ Some of the things I appreciate about mono are: 1. runs on a better, thinner OS that is light years ahead of M$ bloat ware 2. open source (much faster product evolution and completely customizable in the event you want changes) 3. responsibly versions itself which offers an insurance policy against the typical Microsoft behavior of deprecating entire languages in the name of OSes upgrades. If you haven't heard / don't know about VMWare, you should check it out. Installing OSes directly on hardware is a thing of the 90s.
