Any thoughts on where this is going? I heard there are *nix clones of a few other apps like VB, but is this next 'revolution' going to have any real impact? Win2k seems to have made a big splash, at least in stability, if not raw sales. A Republican is the new president. M$ seems to be looking pretty good right now. I have a CDrom of the .net 'vaporware', and I'm wondering if it's going to matter? Or is the table reversed? Will Unix matter anymore? Is Sun going to get their act together and fight the .net campaign, or just trip over themselves trying to decide just *what* their software strategy will be? Just wanted to get the thoughts of all the BSD folks here on chat, 'specially those "in the know". ;) jcm -- o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathon McKitrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | "I prefer the term 'Artificial Person' myself." | o-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-o To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
