Fantastic post John

I'd give you two thumbs up if I could.

This is what one might consider a thesis statement, to be followed by details as to why .NET is "bad" and / or "simplistic and inflexible." At least, that is what one would expect if the author had details with which to back up those claims. Since he doesn?t (at least, not in this series of articles), he must start into what I can best describe as a stealth "ad hominem" attack whose intent is to obscure the lack of such details.

I've noticed that this is fairly standard practice by those who have an irrational hatred for all things Microsoft. Not being content to hold MS's feet to the fire for the things they deserve to be held accountable for, they must go off and find new things to slam MS for. This is yet another example of them stating a "truism", something that can simply be stated without requiring any supporting evidence. A great example of this is Windows Mobile. It seems to be stated as a truism that WM6 is hard to use. No supporting evidence is ever given, it is simply "hard to use".
