We just got the beta 1 of .net here at work.  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".  ;)
