I don't poo-poo the .NET concept, the vision does have its merits.
But I have also read some rather educated critiques of Windows XP's features over at Ace's Hardware, and while I am no paranoia freak, I'm not interested in having an OS that gets a little too friendly with the outside world without my explicit direction.
ZoneAlarm has already caught WinMe trying to phone home a few too many times now.
I understand your perspective because this is your bread and butter. But frankly, I have no confidence in M$ because I know that they have $$, rather than my best interests, at their forefront (like any good capitalist).
I don't begrudge Microsoft for that, it is the basis of a market economy -- but I don't automatically trust them, either. Let the buyer beware...
