| existing knowledge, or an easy way to get up to speed, there's no
| difference between using open source and commercial. Actually, there's
| an additional benefit, because you have access to the source and
| the licensing fees are much lower. Just make sure you set your
| expectations in line with the experience level of the people who
| are going to implement it for you."

.NET will be the downfall of Microsoft Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| This seems minor. But the effect is mathematical. Lets say a .NET
| version takes 5 seconds longer to load. If you have 20 .NET processes
| loading at startup it means Windows will take 100 seconds longer to
| finish than the equivalent processes under Mac OS X. This means from
| this point on Windows will always be at a competitive speed and
| memory disadvantage when compared to OS X, or even Linux.

| I bet if I loaded Linux on this thing I would find the exact same to
| be true. So you see. It has already started. Little ole me - Microsoft
| fan boy - switched simply because the pain of Windows churn (.NET
| induced I theorize) was so great it forced me to something else.
| That pain will cost Microsoft.
