Commercial Application Development In .NET
-
I think .NET will be great for IT departments, consulting firms, service providers, and the likes. From their press releases, I also think that MS develop .NET with these people in mind. However, I haven't heard their views on .NET for commercial application development.:(( Personally, I don't think .NET haven't much to offer on this area except improve time-to-market. However, .NET runtime will surely penalize apps runtime performance. Any views on this one?

The Common Language Runtime offers some great stories around performance (Just-In-Time and pre-compiled apps). As far as commercial applications, it is already being used in some earlier adopters. Crystal Decisions is one of the first out the door with their version of Crystal Reports built on .NET. Expect to see a bunch more out soon now that the Release Candidate is available. Cheers!
