Good analysis! Most people don't see this. But I think C# is a much better tool for this. Yep, fragmenting the market is a very efficient strategy if you are the monopolist. You know, that I see fragmentation of our all efforts WRT Rebol as the main problem, we don't made it to a level like Perl or Phyton (yet). The new 1.3 development process is very promising and if we can keep it going like this, things will change.

Is C# their answer to python and rebol ?? That's the answer to Java. MS is playing on an other level, neither Phyton nor Rebol is any threat to them. Maybe Phyton can become on the mobil market. But I'm sure MS is tracking this very close, and in these areas they don't make many errors.
