Microsoft weaves a .Net over Win XP | |
|

| Time: 10:10 EST/15:10 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Windows XP is the first stage of the highly-touted, little-understood Microsoft.Net strategy that could change our way of working. Peter Osbourne had a simple idea: He and his team of 10 programmers at Dollar Rent A Car Systems created software code that made it possible for people to rent autos through the Web sites of Southwest Airlines and other partners. Little did he know that he had contributed to a marketing revolution that would reinvent the world's largest software company around a colossal technology campaign known as Microsoft.Net. Suddenly, the car project became a showcase for the burgeoning Web services initiative, with Osbourne as its poster child. | ||

If I understand correctly, .NET is a vision. In fact it is the newly stated vision for the company - your data anytime, anywhere, on any device. As such, a .NET enterprise server helps you to get your data anytime, anywhere, on any device. The .NET framework is a set of base classes which help to accomplish the vision. .NET languages use the framework classes to accomplish the vision.
To be more technical a .NET language is one that targets the common language runtime (CLR). Microsoft has submitted both C# (a .NET language) and the CLR to ECMA for standardization. When approved this makes the CLR, not a Microsoft product but a public product. Just as a developer has license-free use of HTML, so also can a developer implement a CLR for any platform license-free - with or without Microsoft's permission. As for the CLR being optimized for Windows, certainly Microsoft's CLR for Windows will be optimized for Windows. But if they wrote one for another platform it would be optimized for that platform. #1 WindowsXP does not ship with ".NET". I doesn't have the CLR or any .NET components. Microsoft gets enough heat for shipping products that many say are still beta, but shipping a product that Microsoft calls beta with a release product? Nope. According to the latest rumors I've heard, VisualStudio.NET goes gold around November along with the CLR. |

| I think you would be very interested that their are three Open Source projects that are working on .Net implementations. Ximian is working on Mono another group is working on .GNU (dumbass name) and one more that I can't think of. MS isn't making the implementation but other people are. I see this as becoming industry standard with Java and this taking over. |
