That's an excellent point. I'm usually left scratching my head when people
on here use the web and ms-windows interchangeably. MS was irrelevant in the
creation of the web and the web has proliferated despite of MS. MS didn't
come into the picture until they decided that it was so important to control
or hinder the web that they broke the law and risked being busted up.

My apologies to those that think the web is the internet or that that they
were going to delete the internet in Win95 when they dragged the desktop
icon to their recycling bin.

If you "standarize" in windows you have to stay all windows, all same

Dave,



It simply amazes me the Web/Windoz world is SOOOOOO far behind in


standardizing >languages and development environments.

I'm _really_ confused by that statement. I would say the exact opposite
is true, and the i is far behind. I guess if you mean there are many
options, then yes, the web/windows world is far behind as it has many
more options than i.

IF, and I grant it's an IF, you standardize on the MS stack, it's a
really standard stack from top to bottom with a great integration story.
