| But Dotnet was on development before 2000...

| What we don't know is how Gates would have handled it after the 
"rejection".

   Was .Net really rejected? Didn't they use it successfully
to compete with Java and sell a lot of MS server software?
Wasn't that the original plan, after all?

   The plan to put a .Net wrapper around all of Windows
(Longhorn) and to conflate .Net with Windows software
programming failed. But they keep trying. Metro's basically
the same idea. It's a nearly constant string of attempts
to make more money from their customers by various means
in addition to software fees. From Active Desktop,
through the various .Net-y boondoggles like Hailstorm, Passport
and SPOT watches, to Kin, to the Metro/WinRT plan, MS has
been very consistent. They consistently copy other companies
in hopes of milking more money from their customers. I'd be
very surprised if Bill Gates has not been part of all those plans.
