Free Shirts
"Ah, the good old days. I remember Microsoft C 5.0 and 6.0 and the Programmer's Workbench. C++ came in 7.0. Visual C++ 1.0 (which was sometime after 7.0) was actually a godsend in those days...I still have my old Microsoft C++ shirts. I wish they still gave out shirts like they used to. Thanks to Brad for the corrections on versions!"

The Apes at Ximian
"The combination of his disdain for Windows forms (the API, or just that type of app?) and also web services leads me to believe that he feels that the power of .NET is creating neat-o web applications real easy. Now, granted, you can do that. But some of the real power is creating applications for Windows (or maybe OS X if Mono goes that way) that have the ease deployment, scalability, and extensibility of the web applications, with the added benefits of a rich client. Right?"

Macromedia
Jeremy Allaire notes that Macromedia is trying to turn flash into a tool for making desktop apps as well as web apps. Kevin Lynch notes some of the progress that they are making in this area. Still, I just have to ask, "Why?" We already have Java and .NET, do we really need a third product that has no enterprise level features (unless you consider JavaScript an enterprise ready language), a runtime and BCL that are so limited they can actually fit in a 300k download, and a suped up version of photoshop as the IDE?
