Weigh up .Net features and functionality | |

The rich facilities provided by Microsoft operating systems and application servers combined with the breadth of third-party tools available to system designers means that we're able to create and deploy higher quality solutions in a shorter amount of time on .Net than on any previous platform. However, software designers still need to make intelligent decisions about the features they choose to use, recognising that there will be associated licensing costs. | ||

I'm not sure I understand the question. Your question assumes that the "3rd party development platform" has an inherent advantage over .NET, so the use of .NET must be justified.
Microsoft's licensing costs are still among the lowest in the industry. Setting up an enterprise class ASP.NET application with Windows 2000 (or 2003) that uses Active Directory and SQL Server 2000 as the backends is still FAR cheaper than using, say, BEA's WebLogic and IBM's DB2 or an Oracle database. In fact, the article mentions just this: "this price, SQL Server is still dramatically less expensive than DB2 or Oracle and outperforms both of them, according to the latest TPC-C benchmarks." Of course, I would also challenge the assertion that there are "3rd" party tools that have the same capabilities as .NET. While J2EE certainly allows you to do everything .NET does (with a few notable exceptions), it takes more time and more money to develop the same application on J2EE. (Typically.) |
