||
| Time: 00:41 EST/05:41 GMT | News Source: NewsFactor | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
eaking at the official launch of the products, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said the development tools "are among the most important products ever released by Microsoft." Indeed, this new software release comes after more than three years of effort and expense on the software giant's part, and it is considered to be crucial to Microsoft's continued success. Yankee Group research director Neal Goldman told NewsFactor that the success of the tools is key to the continued dominance of Microsoft's operating systems. | ||

Almost all companies do this. Go to a car show sometime. It is just a standard marketing thing to say. By the way, at the time DOS, Win31, Win95, win2000, XP and VS.NET was the most important product ever released from Microsoft.

The word ever refers to the past, not the future.

Web services has a lot of legitimacy. Or rather, specifically SOAP.
Most of our software development problems at work are the result of integrating disparate systems together. We also interconnect with a variety of third party companies for various bits and pieces. We have an entire team devoted to nothing but working on solutions to connecting these systems together. What the concept of Web Services does is provide a standard mechanism that everybody can adopt, which means we can work on more important challenges. |

Oh, after rereading the rest of #9's point it seems obvious he doesn't know what web services are.

Quite true #12. VisualStudio .NET is a fabulous tool for desktop and server-side programming. The unified programming model which .NET offers is spectacular. You can use the same set of libraries and the same language (or variety of languages) to target any device - thin or thick client, mobile or otherwise.
.NET isn't just something that Microsoft needs. .NET is something which the industry needs. Integration, cohesion, and standards! With all the bitching about Microsoft's closed source, proprietary software models, .NET is the greatest about face I've seen them take. Considering Microsoft is the largest software company I'd say that a "bet the company" strategy is huge news, not just marketing hype. |
