Why would you use a verbose data description in a situation where bandwidth is relatively limited? That said, I now need to write a web service and that has convinced me to use binary and not XML. Everyone raves over XML and frankly, I don't get it. IN a closed architecture I see no point at all. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions General Account Sent: Wednesday, 14 January 2009 1:32 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] M$ is pushing ahead for performance Stephen Russell wrote: > Some on this list have their mind set and would never consider that M$ > could ever do anything good, this graphic is not for you. for those > of you with your head out of your rump > <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb499684.chart%28en-us,MSDN.10 %29.jpg> > this chart presents performance results on various platforms.

I have to laugh--this reminds me of the case long ago where M$ and/or Oracle said you couldn't publish benchmarks on their products.
