I seriously doubt someone as naive as yourself has been programming for more than 32 years. > I have seen a lot of old Unix programmers end up in the unemployment > line because they failed to change with the times and I am afraid > this is just another case ! .NET is an interesting way for different applications and different companies to communicate; XML is an excellent low-performance data interchange format. Don't think this means every application or library will benefit from being rewritten to .NET (and in C#). You have a shiny new hammer; that doesn't make the wrench and screwdriver in your toolbox less useful. Learn to use all of your tools at the appropriate time and you will be more successful. > I looks like OpenSSL will stay a mostly Unix product, which means > it won't be an integral part of the Desktop since Microsoft own 95% > of the desktop ! Again, you are free to write a C#/.NET wrapper around the OpenSSL DLL, but don't expect us to rewrite the entire source in C# just because you've fallen for MS's marketing material.
