OK, my apologies then, sorry for my misunderstanding.
As far as MS and .NET and the education market goes, we know that MS plans to use .NET to take over what's left of the computing world, so I'm not surprised. We can't do much about it other than to do our best to build a good platform, to evanglize, and hope that MS doesn't succeed in tying the world into Passport and other proprietary services that more or less force folks into running Win+IIS.
Even if they do, OpenACS will run on that platform, I just can't stand the thought of having to do so!
