Charlie;

This is the kind of news I have been waiting for. It does not agree with the marketing of .NET. How could we think it would be any different from ASP? Allowing all versions of all browsers to render in the same manner does seem like a dream or is that a nightmare? I am sure we will get more input as time goes on. Now how many other browsers are people using besides IE and Netscape? .NET must be all things to all people. Somehow I am getting a sick feeling about all this. The Microsoft folks give us hope (always) and then we developers determine reality. Just wait until the Service Packs are released. They will cure any and all problems.

Now Netscape should sue Microsoft because .NET is not compatible with their browser. I am sure more than one attorney will take up that challenge! :)
