too me its like this, ms has a tendency to drop things everytime someone has something new (look no futher than asp or google type searches or anti-spyware, which is hilarious because their browser installs the spyware then u gotta pay them to buy their ani-spyware to get rid of it and make them look like saviors, same as aol) and their problem is they cant come up with really anything original on their own, they just wait for someone to do it then they try to dup it then run the original ppl under.
coldfusion has been around and keeps growing and getting better and it has a solid history, its never just been dumped. maybe .net is todays flava but in a way im not sure what will happen down the line, maybe im just ignorant. but i see things really going down the compliancy highway and even .net code has to be pretty well tweaked to get there. which may seem like a small thing but u add the rising of alt browsers and the growing trends of validation, it really sets up 2 sides, those that follow (most everyone) and those that dont (ms) at some point i think ppl are just gunna flat get sick of the patching and hacking to get things to work right and ms is gunna fall outta favor with a lot of ppl. and i would imagine if their patching gets any worse more ppl will be switching to linux servers and well ms has messed that up too by trying to make .net only run on windows (imagine that) and not talking bout cfm.net(bd) cause im sure that pisses ms to off to hell and back!. so when i see their vp saying hes not worried about firefox and that whole movement, i have to wonder and its a much bigger deal than just the browsers. but anyways, with their history, i can see .net go up a bit more then fall. at some point they gotta put some money and effort in fixing there os systems instead of putting it towards (so called free) stuff like .net or they will be in big trouble and thats where .net is gunna tumble. not trying to diss ms, just my thoughts :) ---------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
