        All these advances in the C# language and the cool stuff in .NET (like WPF, WCF, etc) is making our lives as developers easier, faster, and simpler. In fact, pretty much, junior developers can use the .NET platform to build robust and maintainable without going through the design and testing hoops we used to all have to do, and they can crank out killer apps ahead of time and under budget. Oh, and with Entity Framework, nobody needs to worry about database design anymore. It just does it all for you--normalization, everything! Don't you agree??? Marc

        You do realize that new frameworks like WPF, WCF are about MS making money and not about making anything better or easier. They get to sell training classes, books, new versions of development tools etc, etc, etc... The LINQ To SQL and Entity Models are awesome. Developers don't even need to know SQL, let alone database design. Personally I love the way that I can write the same application with one of 15 different frameworks that all accomplish the same thing.

        I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                    Hmmm..... I could work with this, but I think I'd have to take it down the path of the popularity of inscrutable acronyms. I realize I should know this by now, but what the *bleep* are WPF and WCF anyway? I keep hearing the acronyms tossed around, but since I've never actually used them, and have never seen sufficient reason to bother googling or wikiing these meaningless acronyms, I am completely in the dark. How can I properly hate them if there's no interface provided for implementing any negative emotions?

                                        Why do so many people want that car. I would prefer an airplane of equal value.

                                          No I'm not! How can I be in the argument when he's refusing to start it?
