Joe on Longhorn.

Comments[1] by Dave in Microsoft
Joe Gregorio on Longhorn: That basically covers it. Three major components, all useless in their own right, now stacked together on a shaky foundation to make an even more useless heap.

Joe Gregorio makes lots of valid points in response to Marc Cantor's gushing fanboy Longhorn post, but I'm not sure Joe has all of his facts straight. Is Dot-Net really built on top of COM? I thought Dot-Net was a whole new component model and required bridging technology to hook it up to COM. Is user-supplied meta-data the whole idea of WinFS? I thought the whole idea was to suck SQLServer into the operating system so that DBMS vendors Oracle and IBM can be microsofted as Netscape, Stac, and others were. Is it be true that Microsoft has never shipped a pure Dot-Net application? I hope this one is true, is it?
