Should MS have stuck with .Net instead of .NET?
-
Pretty much non-MS every article I read writes ".Net" instead of ".NET". "NET" makes people think it's an acronym, and Microsoft's very own Word insists on sentence-casing the word. Would it have been easier simply to use .Net and not have to run around yelling "it's .NET, not .Net!!"? cheers, Chris Maunder Rub your belly and pat your head simultaneously.

Interesting point Chris. I'm sure MS really considered the naming quite seriously and we'd all probably be alarmed as to how much financially that small decision cost. Using all Uppercase must be for a psychological effect of some form. C'mon though Chris you know us old guyz still run around saying it's " FORTRAN not Fortran " so time hasn't changed some things much. Regardz Colin J Davies
