Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Not that much.
emphasis mine
...it is what Microsoft has done with core markets (eg office) once it hits market saturation.

We disagree that .net will reach market saturation, or perhaps how long it will take until it does. But your statement above I could have written.

AFA OO - something else taking share from Microsoft Office, we absolutely disagree if your position is that it will take less than 11 years for that to happen.

I hope we still have a way to exchange views in 11 years. It'll be interesting to see who's right. :-)

bcnu,

I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.
New Keep in touch - it may not be that long
OO already is putting pricing pressure on Microsoft. Given basic dynamics of disruptive innovation, I'd expect to see a recognizable sea-change under way in under 5 years. Of course the installed base will take a few more years to really erode, but...

Cheers,
Ben
