Hi Hans: Of course ASP.Net and related C# is going to fade away unless Microsoft gets their act together and makes it a product that can run on all platforms. Simply ignoring the rest of the world is not going to do their company any good. "XNA for instance" and least we forget about their lukewarm support for MS Access.

Not drastically, but... As for Azure, we'll see in a years time. ;) Hopefully Microsoft can avoid embarrassing mistakes like when the entire Azure was down due to someone forgetting to renew an SSL certificate. Microsoft is also known to kill projects at a whim, even if they have an avid userbase. XNA for instance. If they can't seriously compete with Amazon (which I doubt they can), then I can see that happening. Especially if they have a change of leadership, which I am almost certain they will, as they are bleeding left and right. - Hans On 2013-03-21, at 2:00 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> wrote: > Hi Jim -- > > I have changed the subject of this posting to not mix with JC's original one. > > 1.

I have heard Nginx is great but I'd expect MS will (soon) make IIS comparable with it (in min. memory footprint, (unlimited) multi-threading for certain apps, scalability etc.) - e.g. in VS2012 you can run IIS instance even within console application. > > Thank you. > > -- Shamil > > Четверг, 21 марта 2013, 12:15 -07:00 от "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca>: >> Hi Shamil: >> >> That is why I placed that little "note" after the graph.
