Some of us have Unix servers. The last time that I looked (a few years ago) the limitation was networking. That is, a "Professional" ($800) version of Visual.Studio was needed to do anything over a network such as launching an application from a mapped drive.
Microsoft's CLR (Common Language Runtime) makes it impossible to launch a VS app installed on a Unix drive. Thus, I see Microsoft as rather limiting. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tony G Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 4:50 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] mv.net versus Web DE > Doug Averch wrote > >We looked a mv.net and found the Windows platform very > >limiting and would force us to use Visual Studio.

VS facilitates the use of .NET, but development with .NET does not require VS. If you don't want to pay for Visual Studio there are many free editions of VS available for download from Microsoft. These are of course limited in various ways but someone just starting with .NET won't miss the missing functionality and .NET programming with MV should not be affected in the least. I chuckle on the statement that Windows is 'very limiting'. Gosh, I guess that explains why we can't get any software for these stupid things.
