You're correct. But it's kind of funny how PFW solutions with App Control
may become obsolete with .Net applications using the Server and Client
Side .Net Frameworks with its security features in the CRL and MSIL. Once
.Net Solutions start taking hold in the industry, a whole lot of things
will start to change as old programming technology and solutions start to
become obsolete.

Keep in mind that .Net is a Standard like JAVA is a Standard and MS
doesn't control or own .Net, which is controlled by the ISO and ECMA that
sets the Standards for the use of .Net Solutions across O/S platforms
such as MS, Linux and others. MS does sit on the ISO and ECMA .Net
Standards Committees along with Sun Micro Systems, Intel, and HP and the
committee controls what happens to .Net.
