Speaking as a luddite, what the heck is .NET anyway? Is it just
another M$ layer of complexity to learn, is it a simple, elegant way to
use an IDE including debugger with Oberon, an easy way to do
mixed-language programming, a way to further the M$ monopoly, a way to use
the Internet as a disk drive or what? The name doesn't tell me much, and
I can't find a nonobfuscated explanation. Perhaps someone can enlighten
me.
Thanks,
Rex Couture
