I just don't get it. It is all 1's and 0's. .NET doesn't "have anything" on PHP, anymore than .NET "has anything" on Python or Java or C. I'm not talking about developing in VB, or directly on an MS platform, either. I definetly don't want to start a war (there have been enough of those on this list the last few days :)), so I'll just suggest that you read [http://www.ximian.com/tech/mono-index.php3] and spend some time on msdn reading about it, instead of writing it off as marketing speak, and we can continue this off-list. -- John Donagher Application Engineer, Intacct Corp.
