And to all the advocates of .Net (because you have to jump on to new technolgy)

I presume you all camped all night outside the Microsoft Store to get the first release of VISTA (because this is the true platform for .Net development)

Whoopee !!!

(Again, HINDSIGHT tells us you would have been stupid)

Now I know you are all smarter than that ....

So, how long did you wait before you rolled out Vista to your 50 users ?

My guess is that you are still waiting - right ?.

C'mon guys - get with it - shouldn't you do the right thing for Microsoft

You see - you are all just blinkered programmers - you don't pay the bills

Implement Vista and .Net and not only do you have a new system to contend with, but you also need to upgrade ALL your hardware along the way (but why should you care - you just write super dooper .Net software)

So your fancy .Net project will only work so long as the user upgrades or replaces his 50 computers (and his server) - HUH ?

Oh, perhaps there is still a small place in this world for fast, slick, responsive, VB6

I would suspect in the current economic climate, companies will not be rushing out to replace their 300 computers, just because its a good idea to go to Vista and .Net

Perhaps all you .Net gurus may even have to lower yourselves and go back to coding VB6, just so you can put bread on the table
