Remeber the thread Has anyone been involved in a large .net installation? recently? Remember how it turned out that no one had completed any major implementations?

Do you actually believe your own BS?!? There were only 25 responses to that thread, troll -- and many of them were Mac/Linux users who have a vested interest in seeing .NET crash and burn. I'd hardly call that evidence one way or another.

That's the point, silly.

That fellow put out an open call for .NET success stories, and didn't get any.

If you did the same thing, only asked about Java success stories, you'd be inundated with responses and details.

The only folks using .NET now are the ones paid to try and make .NET work. And they aren't having any big successes yet, as far as anyone can tell. A few small successes, as I have myself had. A few small tools. But large-scale production systems. They're all running into serious problems.

Oh, sure, you MS salesmen *claim* great things. Then never point to one single example. Just trust ya'll, we're told.

AS I have posted before, the market will most likely always be split and the competition is very healthy for both sides. Without .NET pushing Java and Java pushing .NET, not much will ever get done. I actually wish another large third party would join the market with a third competing technology. Frankly, I don't believe that the best ideas can be incorporated into only two product lines. Open source certainly is another venue for ideas, but we really need more.

Please see my #84.
