The article is at: http://zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39199269,00.htm If interoperability is the big issue for some, then just stick with Java. For Winew performance go with Delphi32.

The article is at: http://zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39199269,00.htm Did you catch the link I posted below - http://zdnet.com.au/news/business/0,39023166,39199259,00.htm << Microsoft is facing increasing pressure from alternative products as state and federal governments move to level the playing field between proprietary and open-source software. Quote: Of course MS want to push .net for government, as they are rapidly losing ground there to open source initiatives. Also many large companies (eg Telstra in Australia) are pursuing open source.

The IT Director at Telstra who was pursuing open source left last year. Well, according to yesterday's Financial Review, they are still pursuing it. MS are arranging talks with Telstra (on this visit) to try to change their mind . . . one of their major projects was internet TV (IIRC), or something along those lines, that Telstra wasn't terribly interested in.

This is the article I quoted in a post yesterday, but the article has been changed. Yesterday it said: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confessed the software giant's .NET strategy has come to a standstill, says he's accepted SQL Server's shortcomings, and vowed to keep fighting search giant Google. Today it says: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confessed the software giant's .NET interoperability efforts with IBM and Sun have slowed, says he's accepted SQL Server's shortcomings, and vowed to keep fighting search giant Google.

The slowdown may also be related to the DCMA stuff MS wants to have in Longhorn at all cost. Who wants this DCMA ? None I know.
