I think users that are requesting for .NET solutions do not completely understand what they are requesting. We get things like .NET from M$ for a long time. And new things every year. Something like COM,DCOM,AX,DDE,NETDDE, a set of useless languages like VB, J++, J#, VBScript etc. All these initiatives are just because M$ wants to dominate in computer indistry. Just wants to remind us that we should pay a money or we are out of the progress. But this "progress" is just up to M$ I respect M$ as software vendor, OS maker and so on. I am MCSE, MCSA, MCP. However this is not a progress. This is just a marketing. M$ is making money. And .NET is a part of this politic. Let's just read an old article about .NET by Joel Spolsky (www.joelonsoftware.com) http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000049.html Mikhail ----- Original Message ----- >From : Orion Productions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date : Sunday, 16 May, 2004 03:06 PM Sub : [xmail] Re: Xmail reports -- anyone have a wish list? > Shawn,> First I'd like to say that I am a big supporter of this new initiative!> And PLEASE to not listen to people who want you to push in Perl/Java/whatever... directions. .NET is definitely the way to go!! Do you know that it has even come so far that our customers and partners REQUEST for dotnet solutions, and don't want to install anything else like PHP/Perl/etc. anymore! .NET has proven to be the most powerful, extensible, and robust platform, on which over here in Belgium now even the banks, medical sector, etc. rely 24/7! Don't be fooled by the pitfall of platform independency, that's not what we want, we want the best solution for the platform that we're working on.> So go for a solution in C# (or VB.NET) with ASP.NET report pages, and you will have a large installed base over here in the near future :-)> > Happy coding,> Frederic> > -> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in> the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]> For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Mikhail Tchoudinov SmartPost project smartpost.sourceforge.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
