Well, yes there are a number of people, including myself, Sun, Aol and loads of others that are very interested in what is going to emerge as the king of distributed authentication and who will, if anyone, will be the king of providing web services that work. It's a very exciting and new area for the programming world and open source needs to make it's response. But that doesn't really mean that *nix folks are cheering for C#.
Everyone knows that the desktop market will continue to shrink from here on out and software manufacturers need to be able to provide high-quality secure online applications that work. .Net is a platform doing so with Passport as the authentication mechanism. I wonder how PHP will fit into this whole distributed application framework, if it will. I have written a PHP authentication module, that could possibly be distrubuted, hmmm. We are off topic, sorry. If anyone wants to respond to this, just email directly. On 12 Feb 2002 at 23:41, Michael Sims wrote: > At 08:46 PM 2/12/2002 -0800, Keith V.
