Hi JohnK,

I get the distinct impression, from reading the About.NET whitepaper, that VisualStudio.NET would be a separate product altogether.

I also see heavy use of the word "subscribe", making me wonder if this is more towards time-based software "licensing" (my terminology for downloading a product for use then it disappearing from your system when you close it) as opposed to permanently installed on your computer.

I also don't see *any* mention of the standard development languages in the white paper.

It looks like a whole new world to me, with XML being the main "glue" and canned "building blocks" used for processing. Maybe real programming is to join the dodo after all.

Cheers,

Jim N
