RE: [PHP] Re: Opinions on Micro$oft .NET

I'd just like to say that I've found this discussion to be very interesting
and enlightning.  It also makes a change to see people not microsoft
bashing but taking an objective view on everything.  We keep getting more
and more requests to develop products for .net because our clients want
software which runs under windows, online or (more recently) for handheld
devices. So far we've concentrated on PHP for web development and Delphi for
application development, but I think that .net cannot be ignored.

Even though I didn't start the thread, I found it very useful to follow

That's not a bad analogy. It's very similar to the audio industry. You have
stereo receivers that do just about everything, and this is what the majority
of people buy. But, you always have the audiophiles who buy separate components
to get the absolute best sound they can get.

Is it worth the effort? Only if you can hear the difference...
