[Mono-list] Comparing .NET CLI implementations

[Piers Haken]

In reality most of COM+ is just existing technologies (MTS, MSMQ, NLB)
more cleanly integrated into the COM base libraries with obvious
features like pooling and JIT activation and a nicer configuration
thrown in for good measure. Most of the underlying interfaces are the
same (IObjectContext springs to mind).

Incidentally, I've heard that much of the rotor sources contain
references to "COM+" as if that was originally the name for ".NET".

Not really. How can something compete with a thing that wasn't out at
the time of it's introduction. And if you'd like to get _really_
technical, go take a look at the Open Group's DCE specification and see
how much of COM/COM+ you see there. Answer: all of it. It's a __direct__
ripoff.

Well, in this case, I'd have to say not, since most big Web applications
are still powered by either C or Perl. I'm talking __really__ big ones,
here, not middle-tier big. For instance, cdnow.com is powered by all
FastCGI C executables on an IBM S/390. Java has had some big ones
lately, but that's only lately. Remember, J2EE isn't that old (but then
again, neither is the Web :)
