  • .NET is being marketed almost solely as a framework for network-centric things such as web services. For those of us whose applications are more firmly grounded in a single-workstation paradigm .NET seems to be largely irrelevant. It may not be, but that's the impression Microsoft gives.

  • Where my applications do care about networking, my needs are pretty much lightweight connections in a heterogeneous peer-to-peer environment (many computers, each controlling part of a large device, talking to one another to synchronize their activities. Some run Windows, some Linux, some MacOs or OSX). For this, if .NET helps, it will only help when it works on all these platforms.

  • Microsoft has not made any performance specifications available, so it's hard to see how great a hit .NET-ifying an application will make at runtime. I am waiting to see how quickly Microsoft incorporates .NET into its major applications (Office, VStudio, etc.) and how .NET-ification affects their reliability and speed.
