I think it's also fair to mention that of all the meeting I've attended where dotnet is the focus, not once as a question been raised about inadequate data handling.

One of the events was a MSDN event for VS 2005. I walked around during break asking as many as I could about the type of apps they were working on. Lo and behold, everyone described an app that dealt with some type of client data.
