But of course -- Microsoft has always been leading the pack in 
everything is does. The net is no exception, take a look at its IE 
browsers with respect to web standards and compliance issues -- they 
certainly define what's best for the rest of us, right? Wrong!

Seriously, M$ has one thing on it's mind and that is to control as 
much as possible -- and that control is solely for profit and not for 
the better good. If they can sell .Net tools as the "best" way to go, 
and you buy into it, then I have some swamp land for you to consider 
because in either case, you're wading into a quagmire.

Answers like that above, are just more M$ noise for profit.

Cheers,
