You ignore the fact that there have been > 20 above people cite examples of places where there are large .NET applicaitons in production.

Where? Not here in this thread, and not in that other thread where that other fellow specifically asked for such testimonials. No, there hasn't been a single one. That's why we keep asking. The only 'case studies' we can find are the ones on MS's site, and they give no details what-so-ever. They're little more than press releases, and largely just on small tools.

And if you think that a Windows-only downloaded 'WinForm' is the equivilant of an applet, then it only reinforces what I think. The 'Windows-only' problem alone kills the idea of building an internet solution with a WinForm. That kills me, 'Windows-only' guys see no problem with a 'Windows-only' web solution. While the market rejects the idea entirely.

You, too, seem far more 'salesman' than developer. I signed an NDA. I don't share critical business info. We're not talking about critical business data.

You're hiding even the simplest implementation details. The stuff that is *not* in any way sensitive. The stuff you'd *have* to be evangelizing if .NET works.

You sound like a salesman. "It works, trust me! I just can't show you anything or give you any details!"

Well MS has burned too many people in the past. Their past solutions are widely known for being poor quality and far from the 'best'. So don't be surprised if the world outside the walls of Redmond react very differently than you expect.

Bottom line:

You want to claim .NET is ready for prime-time today, then be prepared to give specifics and offer proof.

Ya'll are trying to sell a brand-new, untested solution.

If you just continue to say, "It works, but we can't give you any examples or details", then good luck!

You're going to need it.
