I'm not sure where Sharp is going with this but its nice to see such cool innovation.
On a programming note: Does anyone know details about the new Microsoft programming language C# ? Its being billed as the new Java with many added functions. A number of companies in my area are sending their programmers and web developers to seminars to learn C# for implementation with .NET network infrastructure. Is this really a revolutionary product or just a lot of hype created by Microsoft? It seems like hype to get more money out of companies that chose Windows as their server and web development platform but I don't really know. Any thoughts?
