"Companies (Revlon/Dell may have been the only two but that's good enough for the plural designation) are throwing out their mission critical applications sight unseen (especially if Microsoft Consulting came to them and said something along the lines of "We'll write and install a brand new application for you for free if you'll allow us to promote it") to rewrite them in the beta version of .NET [1.0]." MSFT didn't lie per se, but to intentionally deceive -- (another quote from the same individual) -- "That's just business."
