>Your ad hominum tactics - to attack me as opposed to directly addressing my points will not boost your credibilty.

I'm don't seek to boost my credibility by hounding people like you, John. Credibility is definitely not a problem. If someone doesn't believe what I say about you and your e-pinions, then at least they are forewarned.

My sole objective is to ensure that people are made aware that you don't know anything more than the next guy about the future, that your analysis typically has no serious engineering merit, and that you're expressing e-pinions based not on insight into actual applications, but rather as a result of running the wizards and poking around in the dot net beta doing laughably trivial things like those posted for download on your website.

I suggest that you actually implement an application somewhere, and be able to identify at least a few rookie mistakes, before you urge people to risk their credibility and their client's money on this technology.
