John, it is important that folks like you spread the word among colleagues.
Microsoft uses slogans with words like "Anywhere", leaving developers under
the impression that it can be as accessible as Adobe Flash. It's not! And
being proprietary, in the hands, of Microsoft, it will probably be
'extended' in nasty ways to assist the monopoly, through integration.
