Why must everybody have to use Microsoft products huh? Why can't we have some choices in this world? Move to open standards and build on the internet platform of the future so that we can have some choices for a change!!

Integration with printers, PABX, other IT systems etc. favor a server-side solution, but client-side development is much more cost effective. One day, when all this confusion about dev platforms is over, we will have the cost efficiency of client-side development with the deployment abilities ofLars Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217303713945608384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-43806304873381038662009-07-29T14:07:48.819+02:002009-07-29T14:07:48.819+02:00Maybe it's because I see the cost of a new pla...Maybe it's because I see the cost of a new platform as too high and the current platform as working fine (using sms, online distribution or other means for distributing and installing MSI packages etc).<br /><br />The current development spectrum in Windows is splintering up so much, already, do we need a new promise of improvements though initial headaches are a guarantee?<br /><br />For Taqyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226272497440168476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-82842620762950979772009-07-29T13:48:46.621+02:002009-07-29T13:48:46.621+02:00I absolutely agree with you, that there is a cost ...I absolutely agree with you, that there is a cost when adopting a new platform. However, I see no benefit with MSI etc., and deployment is a major problem for many customers - in other words, the new technology solves a problem and generates other problems.Lars Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217303713945608384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-9456204347144382009-07-29T13:18:54.181+02:002009-07-29T13:18:54.181+02:00:) I must still disagree with you Lars, I prefer a...:) I must still disagree with you Lars, I prefer a once-off local install than an entire download every time.<br /><br />I see a new platform with new problems and new learning curves, new security issues, logistical issues.<br /><br />MSI installs works. Win32 works. Give me .net if you have to.<br /><br />I vote for improving the current platform rather than dumping the last 10 years again.<br Taqyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226272497440168476noreply@blogger.com
