These statements are ultra-vague. Maybe Miguel could elaborate on those
quotes with more specifics when he gets a chance? A few examples of the "bad
design" perhaps. 

Also, as far as the database (ADO.NET) classes go they're, not part of the
ECMA class libraries. Therefore they're Microsoft proprietary class
libraries. Anyone trying to emulate their functionality is doing so at their
own risk, right? Same goes for windows forms, asp.net, enterprise services,
etc.

Thanx,
