Hi John,

>Not sure why this is being blowin up into such an issue. VFP's UI was hopelessly slow early on as well. Java's was worse if you used it across the internet. We knew it and catered for it. Something seems different this time.

You know what's different this time... a small group of people have taken it upon themselves to "defend" .NET loudly and proudly whenever anything that might have even a smidge of a hint of negativity toward to 'platform' is stated.

You know what's different this time... a certain member is now banned so a small group of his good friends have taken it upon themselves to take things up where he left off.

They don't need no stinkin data to 'prove' that theirs is best and they pay no mind to anything approaching added code complexity or self-managed "cacheing" or comparative scalability issues because they are obviously only mentioned to cloud the issue. That is 'can' be done in .NET is all anyone needs to know.

cheers
