Paul Andrews: "What happened to .NET? Microsoft's flagship strategy for 'any time, anywhere computing from any device' has sunk like a stone. By now we were supposed to be seeing initial .NET applications, but the new rallying cry seems to be for Palladium, a security initiative that has met with the same skepticism and resistance from the developer community that .NET inspired. At its worst, Palladium looks to be a sop to Hollywood and its efforts to control digital content."  [Scripting News]

I'm perplexed at your article Paul. .NET is being used by thousands of companies around the world in their applications. Its a rapid development and deployment kind of infrastructure technology not one to be "seeing initial .NET applications." In that way, its not neccessarily a  "showy" technology. Its just doing its job and helping developers create their applications a lot quicker. On what merits has it "sunk like a stone?"
