Ami vs MS .NET : Comment 4 of 12ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 3 (Anonymous):
Well... The general consensus in the real world is that the MS marketing people ran around one day and told everyone in the company to rename/rework their projects to fit into the ".NET" paradigm. There are some semi-interesting technologies tied to this, C# included, but the whole thing isn't going to look like a real platform (for now) any more than Windows 1.x looked like an OS.
It'd be shortsighted to simply write off all this .NET 'innovation' as going the way of ActiveX (still used a bit, but obscure, and best known for the trouble it causes), but the idea is more to support a subscription model for corporate and SOHO customers- and increase profits- than to revolutionize the way a single user can compute.
The top brass at MS pointed the marketing folk in this direction; Gates is good at watching the market and trying to capitalize on the next big buzzword. However, if you look at the .NET mission statement, it's nothing but buzzwords, and vague ones at that- "communication," "productivity," "crossplatform." It just happens that Amiga Inc. has already architected a system compliant with those words :)
