So if .Net is not a market leader, what is? And how are you coming to this conclusion?


>But Mike has Microsoft .Net shown it's self as a market leader? Not in the last five years. But maybe they are considering that in the past MS was the leader. OK that might well be a consideration. I too have to consider that MS's money might just make it the winner in the end. But MS's recent record has not provided a lot of confidence. I keep seeing MS's cutting loses and running to something new.
