MS have had that info clause since hotmail started, nothing to do with .Net.
I never said that it was a result of .NET, I just thought that that was one of the key reasons for it being a bad idea (where it might not be if it was from any other company/group). And Hotmail wasn't started by Microsoft.
Visual studio.Net as a development enviroment is Second to NONE and you dont have to develop progs which reside on MS servers to use it. that is what i was commenting on and is why i said Apple doesnt have any Development suite ti match it.
That is funny, I could say the same thing about Web Objects (Apple's development suite which sounds like more than a match for Visual Studio .NET), but it has won numerous awards by web development groups giving any claims I might make some actual weight. As for deployment (and development), Web Object can be set up on Mac OS X Server, Solaris and Windows 2000 Server and can be developed on Mac OS X and Windows 2000. You were saying something about residing, weren't you? What about what platforms you can develop, deploy and access it from? Somehow, Second to NONE in a Windows only world, sounds like what Microsoft is shooting for (by getting rid of competition) but has yet to achieve.
I was not talking about the big picture of .Net which if you followed IT news you would know MS dropped the development of BlackCoombe (aka Hailstorm) yesteday because of lack of third party support.
I know, half the reason for hitting on the issue was it's failure (and lets not call the Register/Inquirer IT news, we know those are your favorite sources of misinformation).
so please people thats actually make sure we understand the comments before we start critisizing them.
Yes but if we enforced that standard, you wouldn't be able to post here. You are so ill informed on so many issues (though I love when you walk blindly into things), that your statement truly only applies to you here.
also people act like apple have no security holes please give me a break if apple OS'es were scrutinised as much as MS OS'es im sure a few would be found
Visual Basic Scripting has never require scrutiny for people to take advantage of it. Microsoft enables features that users may never use, and THAT my poor misguided friend is their problem. In all reality, a stripped down version of Windows would be the best thing that could possibly happen for consumers, because that would mean that they would have to add/enable only the features that they want/use (even if they only get those features from Microsoft). It may or may not hurt Microsoft, it absolutely is going to hurt the Anti-Virus industry (which should never have become an industry to begin with), and it is going to help consumers.
You know I hate to bring the issue up again, but what do they teach you in that school of your's?
VS.net is just so user friendly and powerfull and has just about the fastest compilers available, well compared to GCC anyways
by the way i know compiler design is hard it is a large part of our course. Its very tedious to say the least.
This is based on Microsoft telling you this? And compared to what? You seem to be under the impression that this is the only product of it's kind. I guess they barry you in the compiler part of (Windows) computing to distract you from the rest of the problems with the system.
Oh forgot i didnt end up getting a Mac in the end i gave in to temptation and put the money towards my Suzuki GSXR 750. Very tasty 0 - 60 mph 2.8 secs and top speed of 186mph limited of course. A BEAST i can tell you, the neighbours complain when i start it in the morning wakes the whole neighbourhood up.
This is not surprising. But I am still laughing at all your posts. Keep 'em coming!
