I am not sure about the C# and Java bit, though ;) It might my severe experiences with Java lately. But I C# does a good job... You just need to use the right stuff with CLR. I mean most people run server applications in workstation mode instead of server mode. Yes, then you have performance issues. The garbage collector works differently then.

I think Word is terrible to use, and Excel is good but I still think Quatro Pro worked better when I had to use it. I dont use Excel anymore. Yours, Weyert
