>Whats your favorite new security feature in Windows .NET Server?

I have been concentrating on using VS .NET in a scneario that VFP and VB 6 address. If you are talking about secure data, I suspect I will probably rely on the data engine itself for those services as opposed to relying on trusted connections in the OS.

I am not a security expert and if I had a client that needed consultation on security issues, while I could give some high-level advice, I would bring in somebody who make security their niche..

Trying to narrow the focus on security does not invalidate my points...

I don't think I am. IIRC, I repeatedly suggested that it takes more than a nice IDE and framework to make a sucessful Web service platform and you said something about but developer productivy is how IS manager's make their decisions.

And VS6 to VS.NET is a minor upgrade?

No..

The new ASP.NET, ADO.NET, CLR, IDE stuff isn't as drastic as FoxPro2 to VFP3?

Could argue either way... It is like comparing apples and oranges. I would lean toward it being a paradigm shift like 2.x to VFP...

How about the .NET Framework taking over the responsiblity that used to be up to languages, or how about VB becoming fully OOP?

What about it? I think it is a great idea. I like the idea of frameworks. Frameworks have proven their worth to me. The fact that .NET embraces that is a good idea in my book...
