Everyone is complaining about the owner M$ and throwing opinion based on that aspect of the tool. I am using the tool still trying to figure out what can't be done with it. Who owns it is not near as important. I have to laugh when nobody ever kicks Oracle. I find the .NET platform to be a growing environment and not stagnant. Considering it is only to version 3 I am quite happy that they are talking about 4, and already looking to add to it's offerings. What I like is that I am wowed by the new ideas the designers have and are implemented/implementing. Taking hard code out of a base language and moving it to a markup is great. I'm out of a webinar from Xerox on their workflow tool so I have to deal with my cohorts in crime about it.
