I have Launched My Site

I have launched my website, www.zilliondigits.com it contains my profile and some of the software tools I have developed.
Enjoy.

C++/CLI and .NET

I believe that C++/CLI will be a good step in the direction of making .NET a more popular development platform. Porting of existing software was somehow difficult by using the old C++ managed extensions for .NET. I can not claim experience in using managed extensions as I do all of my .NET development using C# and that I did not like those extensions. C# is a .NET language not like C++ which is the most powerful programming language available. Myself I feel more excited by the new version of .NET and Visual Studio because I will be able to switch to use C++ for .NET development as in native development.

Google and Windows

Through my usage of different Google new tools I have noticed something. Why is most of Google products are created for the Windows OS although Google is one of the supporters of Linux and Open Source Community?
I can not find a reason for this except that they want to reach a large number of users and this can only be achieved through Windows. So that is what really achieved by Microsoft, if you want your product to reach people, use Microsoft Windows.
