>Why do people continue to take this so personally? It was a business decision.
Come on. It was a "business decision" by a company working in a near monopoly situation. Any normal business would have frowned at dropping a company they just purchased. Even more so with such a dedicated user-base. MS version 1985 would have nurtured both the customer base and the product. As they did at that time.
The way they discarded the possibility of a dynamic language within the net framework with a stinking poor technical argumentation. It took only one guy,Jim Hugunin, and a couple of months to bring up a python, a dynamic language interpreter, within the net environment ... Who was fooled by the pseudo argumentation? I was not. We are not that silly or technically backwards.
I do not care MS so much anymore as I moved to other things. MS current version is a bit like Wall Street current version. Not exactly helping America overall. As the current Oracle. I remain confident that one day, America will be back on its feet. With a new generation of companies and people at the wheel. It just ain't now :(
