What was the doc saying about MS at their most cuddly. Without integration to Passport I don't see a future for the strategy - gee yes it'll run on any OS for as long as you per user licence your ADS boxes to oversee security. > The most ironic thing is that microsfot have inadvertently solved a number of > long lived problems, one being open source GUI problems.

Like show me when it works - sorry impedance mismatch doesn't go away - sure you can code a subset common to all - but QT has done the look like the other OS natively for ages bit if it is asthetics that bother you. > ~ Theo, feelign a bit strange saying good thigns about microsoft products - > first time i've *ever* done it! I remain to be convinced it isn't just a Java spoiler. Okay my knowledge of it is fairly limited, but then my knowledge of COBRA or GNOME is fairly limited. From here it looks like hanging on Microsoft's coat tails whilst they take a very risky ride. Why would I advise someone who can get excellent object "brokerage", and development tools in Java for all platforms likely to matter to go for something supporting less platforms, with even more limited Open Source implementations, with less security architecture - all tied to a company renown for it's predatory practices, and poor security. Sorry it needs a more potent argument that I wrote a program once quite quickly - hell I'd recommend Perl for everything if that was my criteria. Simon, keen to learn more. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+PuvhGFXfHI9FVgYRAtawAKC259OvRi448VBjwJWCJNidH1z4hwCgs3xB HK8tmy3HkS8ebZqGja5jW7U= =8qu4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
