Sticky issue, but from one perspective you could say that C# / CL* have more potential to be an open platform than java at the moment, considering that Microsoft has submitted most of the base platform to ECMA, while Sun still has a strangle-hold on Java... > ok, if so, then long live Mr.Miscro$of and make me suffer for paying you > extra money for buggy software :( > > by the way, don't forget to change it > from "Apache Software Foundation" > to ".Net Apache Software Foundation " :P The foundation is platform and language agnostic already, they own / steward projects written in C / Java / Perl / Python / ... and that run on many many platforms. > i will leave Apache system if you used any Micro$oft products. > when you support Micro$oft you help in KILLING an open source project :'( To be fair, it may be possible to implement CL* version of various projects without using or requiring any Microsoft product. Especially the many useful server side components that live at Jakarta. You might look at NLucene as an example. I'd investigate the relationship between Microsoft and the pieces of the .NET platform before becoming too upset about this. You might be surprised (or I might be =) But really, as long as someone is interested in doing the work, more quality software that gives more people more options is not a bad thing. --jt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
