MS and 'modern' technologies ....
`` [.net and winfs and all the nonsense. Just think how much Linux has progressed in the app area and desktop....]

Have you got any example of this?
.Net replaces the win32 api for developers.
What's the new unix api you are referring to? ''

When did the win32 API came out? 15 years ago or more? What is keeping MS from upgrading this OBSOLETE API? Thr '10 years late' is rightfully jusdtified.

Alternative APIs? CORBA and other APIs based on Java. Is .net different from Java? As a matter of fact .net is the whole Java idea but CRIPPLED to run on a single platform (a MAJOR contradiction on the premise of distributed computing...)


``[...UNIX has always been a stable, mature and secure system to connect 10,000s of machines together....]

Yes it has. Windows on the other hand is more for mass market appeal.
Each has its place.
It's not either or.''

Here I meant that with UNIX you can have 10,000s of machines COOPERATING SIMULTANEOUSLY to solve a distributed processing problem. Clearly one should be free to chose whatever he wishes for his systems. You cannot do distributed processing with more than a few 10s of ms windows PCs.
