Jacci,

>I was just wondering who's using the pre-release version of MM.NET. I just wanted to get some opinions on it. I'm building a case for my new employer to incorporate it into our development environment.

We are using it. Actually we are not up to date with the last beta, because of time lack but I highly recomend this framework. There are tons of great design ideas and good stuff you can learn from!

> Their biggest fear is having to pay royalties since we are developing a verticle market app. I know you just have to purchase a license for each developer on the team. After that it is my understanding it is royalty-free.

I believe it is royalty free, if you have one licence for every developer, but Kevin can clear this up.

>Most of the developers are former VB developers and are lacking good OOP development skills. I'd like to get thing right the first time. They have been spending time creating data objects and business objects.

In my opinion this is even more worth for people having good OOP skills...
For doing things right the first time it is great.
