You got a better word for me than "country".. It is almost a religion!!

Open your mind Ivan.. dotNet has on it purpose the total control of market of development tools.. We're talking about a little more than to be a good/bad producer.. The subject here is TOTAL CONTROL !! That isn't a new tool available on the market. But, the final, the one..

On what area do you develop systems E.R.P., C.R.M.? If MS decide to take the FINAL SOLUTION for this area, maybe you'll know what I am talking about!! And, know what? They already are getting into C.R.M.?

Ok, if the job of Oracle people, etc.. doesn't matter for us.. Let's use this final road .NET!!
