oh shocker... :)I think a combination of competency, which I agree would be meeting deadlines, combined with ability to communicate.
btw :) Someone who would respond to a question like how do you identify a good programmer with
'What do you mean? An excellent programmer = 2.5 good programmers = 10 mediocre programmers = infinite number of poor programmers...'
would generally fail part two :) Sorry Dave but had to say it. Matt.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Coulter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

David This is exactly my point, .Net was a reaction to Java, XAML is reactive toXUL, Freedom to inovate, bullshit, I also find in hilarious that people who buy into the M$ justify it on the consistency of supply where recent historywould indicate the oppositeWhat I love about OS dev products is changes are total demand driven with nosubtext n David Brennan wrote:It is a danger with .NET. Compare with Internet Explorer. IE got megabucksthrown at it by Microsoft because they perceived a threat that Netscape could eventually provide an alternative to the Windows platform by havingamulti-platform rich interface web browser. Once Microsoft had strangled Netscape and ensure market dominance they suddenly killed IE development. Almost all of the new technologies whichhadbeen under development for a richer browser environment were effectivelyputon hold at the same time... which was probably Microsoft's plan from the start. I see some parallels here. Java was getting too much popularity behind it and it's cross platform nature and rich interface potential was/is aseriousthreat. So .NET is unleashed upon the world. The difference is that Java isn't likely to die like Netscape did. So Microsoft may end up having to push .NET as their long term solutionratherthan just using it for a single battle. Only time will tell I guess.
