I could also have gone in OS, but I felt that putting it there would have been just flame material for the MS/Linux battle.


And if there's one thing we don't need, it's more of those

It's pretty worrying really. The article says it all, it puts the whole viability of .NET under the spotlight. It's all well and good to say "we'll use the web as a platform", but this isn't the Starship Enterprise. Stuff does break, networks are unreliable and l33t d00ds are trying to own you.

In the long term, it might work, but there is a saying warning against putting all of your eggs in one basket.
