Clueless A few things that have been bothering me about .NET recently: A 20MB runtime requirement for client side .NET WinForms apps Around $6000 upfront software costs for ASP.NET deployment (XP Server plus SQL Server 2000). I really like the XML libraries (fast, stable, great error reporting), but the lack of source code for the libraries is a huge problem. There is no production runtime for an OS other than Windows, and there doesn't appear to be one coming anytime soon. Mono is great and I think will be a force to be reckoned with, but not for a while. [...] [Ken Rawlings] US$6000 startup costs for developing?
