   Wow...totally my bad about the non-disclosure. I actually didn't see it that way, but if the community demands the disclosure, I am completely in the wrong. I apologize. I wasn't trying to hide who I am. I asked the same question here t

    You raise an interesting point - is the love affair with non-MSFT stuff because it is perceived as being "harder" and thus jacking up geek cred? I was joking with someone that vbscript blew the opportunity to become what PHP is now. Any re

    I really thought this topic was going to bring the haters...and yet the majority of the commentary has been uniformly positive. What is MSFT doing wrong, then, that more people aren't building web apps on their stack? For the record, Visua

    This is a very interesting point...do you have any suggestion for the types of tools that you would want to see be free which aren't? Would contests from MSFT help in this regard? What kind of investment could they make on this problem wh

    I was lucky enough to discover ASP.NET MVC a couple of days ago, and it's much, much better. I think ASP.NET is fine for internal development, but for anyone looking to build consumer sites, is it a reasonable tool? Yes, I know MySpace is

    This is a good start, and very appreciated. I have found that asp.net is very rough on the brain when you are used to RoR and Django. Any thoughts on that?

    I was just finishing my post on the topic of GOOG and net neutrality when I refreshed HN and saw this as the top link. When taken in the context of how GOOG arbitrates access to businesses via Ad Words, it makes it even more nefarious. ht
