It's not what *I* think, but what respected commentators say: PC Magazine, Oct.1,2001: John C. Dvorak: "[We] also discussed Microsoft's .NET strategy and it was a fundamental change in the way Microsoft wants to do software. Microsoft has never managed to be more than *vague* about the whole thing. ... In a nutshell, Microsoft wants to create an all-encompassing architecture that will scale top to bottom and be easily maintainable. Underlying the notion is the concept of *world domination.* It's that simple."
