Hmpf ... why are these things always in the US ... or Germany ...

Mostly because Europeans buy whatever Americans and Chinese do anyway (SERIOUSLY) so it doesn't really matter, if it does well in the Asian/American markets, it does well everywhere else, except for ME, the polish love that thing

hehe ... a little harsh ... but proberly true

He's right. It's like with electronics; the rest of the world buys whatever is hot in Japan.

Yup, it always goes that way

Well, hmm, considering that Germany and a few other "countries" sourced (excuse the pun) Linux to manage the infrastructure we might want to start thinking differently for the future.

Linux is a decient Operating System, but to be perfectly honest, it cannot touch base where Microsoft domineers -- the client workstation will always belong to Microsoft. Wether UNIX and it's variants/derivitives/relatives show-up is probably going to be near the server end of things. And the introduction of .NET framework will allow .NET products from Microsoft to interact with Linux.NET applications/databases as well.

While .NET is NOT a solution to JAVA, it is at least a viable idea to try developing under, as it may become the standard in the near future.
