I just finished reading quite a few things at your site, actually. Good stuff.
Regarding the dot com reckoning, though...the tag at the end is what I wanted to ask about. " Stardock launched its .Net initiative in the summer of 1999 with creation of its Application Service Provider (ASP) Stardock.net and its first service - The Object Desktop Network (www.objectdesktop.net)."
Is that what the hell .Net is supposed to be? Maybe I'm ignorant here, but ever since Microsoft started with this .Net, I haven't been able to figure out precisely what exactly it *is.*
ObjectDesktop.net is a .Net "application?" "System?" "Architecture?" What's the right technospeak for that, anyway?
If it's that simple, why hasn't Microsoft been able to make people understand it? Every IT guy I know scratches his head the same way I do when asked to explain it. At least know I can offer an example of how it's supposed to work.
Two years as a subscriber and I had no idea it was a .Net...uhh...thingy.
